Frequently Asked Questions
What is premedia?
Premedia is a term used to describe the design process. It is the process of how a design is created from the idea phase through the completion. It encompasses all of the differences in terms of changes and upgrades to the initial scope. In short, premedia is the very beginning stage of the printing process, including things like the design and color manipulation, automated PDF workflow, and automated trapping systems. There are many other components of this process that are evaluated and approved before it is actually printed.
What is prepress?
Prepress is another term for premedia. The prepress stage is the start of the printing process when all aspects of the project are considered and planned for, such as proofing, color selection, and digital color proofing, among other components.
What is digital prepress?
Digital prepress is simply the process completed in a digital format. There is no need to go back and forth on paper or other forms of communication. Rather, using a wide range of digital tools, it is possible to send information and communicate about various parts of the project digitally, streamlining efforts to create a better overall result. The digital prepress stage uses tools like web-enabled proofing, online collaboration funds, web-based file transfers, and computer to plate technology that can generally speed up the process and streamline it. Typically, this method allows for the sign-off of the project in a faster manner, especially when very specific details need to be considered.
