Prepress Solutions

Our technical expertise is designed to complement the designer’s craft, freeing you to focus on what you do best. We offer an integrated electronic prepress service, including colour separations, page assembly, image editing, colour retouching and digital proofing. Our department is comprised of specialists in colour scanning, digital image editing and electronic page assembly. Preflighting experts ensure trouble-free file processing through our PDF-based Kodak Prinergy system.

Hemlock Printers’ commitment to the latest electronic prepress technologies offers several key benefits to customers. Because the system is thoroughly integrated, we can maintain stringent quality control from colour separations to the printing press. Digital imaging devices are uniformly calibrated throughout the system to ensure accuracy from colour proofs to printed products.

Hemlock applies its printing and prepress expertise to complement the designer’s craft, freeing customers from the burden of responsibility for technical tasks outside their area of specialization.
