Artwork
The PCS design studio covers all your artwork requirements. From original artwork creation using a client brief to accepting press-ready files or dealing directly with your appointed agency, our highly experienced dedicated artwork team is permanently on hand to provide expert advice for even the most complicated of jobs.
We use up-to-the-minute equipment and operating systems supported by the latest version of industry standard software such as Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop and InDesign.
All artwork is proofed prior to print production and nothing will go ahead until we have client approval, giving peace of mind that the end product will meet expectations. We offer our clients a choice of proofs - pdf document for speed; a calibrated pre-press wet proof; a plastic wet proof or a fully finished card.
In preparing electronic artwork files for CTP it may be useful to know that our colour workplace uses the FOGRA 27 standard. CTP plate punching inline gives accurate fit on press and means we can be fully operational on a job within minutes.
In addition, using waterless plate-printing technology allows finer detail to be reproduced compared to standard litho. This is due to much reduced dot gain in the printing technology.
PCS is the only UK plastic card manufacturer to offer this additional benefit as a standard part of our service. |
