Having your artwork properly prepared first time every time, not only saves you time and money but you will also benefit from consistent colour from project to project.

At Intertype we go to great lengths to ensure that your artwork will work in the printing process. In fact many printers engage Intertype to repair the myriad of problems that they experience with artwork files supplied by their customers.

Your artwork is guaranteed to perform as intended due to strict adherence to the appropriate PDF standards. We take the worry out of choosing the right standard to use for your artwork. Intertype's in depth knowledge of all the PDF standards gives you peace of mind that your artwork will be finished to the standard required whether it's for screen, digital or offset printing.

The modern photo retouching tools open up a world of creative opportunity. In fact it has even developed into a new art form. Ensuring that your images are suitable for the required printing process adds a degree of complexity that few designers really understand. You can rest assured that your images are in good hands and that your artwork project will deliver your requirements.

Great creativity is one thing but it's the finished artist that brings the project home. With arguably the best finished artists in the business we take care of all the issues that impact on the printability of your artwork.

Transparency flattening, print ready PDFs, pre-flight checking, artwork modification, pre-press settings, colour settings, pre-flighting, embedding fonts, linking images…..these are just a few of the issues that are managed to ensure your artwork will work in the printing process, saving you precious time and money.

Modern software and workflow tools have virtually eliminated the pre-press industry however the knowledge required for this important function is still needed. Intertype's 20+ year background in pre-press means that your artwork will be prepared in an environment with deep knowledge of this vital function ensuring that your project progresses smoothly and will work within the printing process.

Some of the pre-press items that are managed on your behalf include trapping, trims, bleed, creep, dot gain, separations, spot colours.

If you want consistent colour across all your branding then there is a myriad of variables that you need to get control of. ICC Profiles, fingerprinting presses and other output devices, calibration, web Vs sheet fed, substrates, 3DAP…the list goes on.
