Industry Leading Prepress
Imageworx specializes in professional file conversion and color separations for all major print processes. We have particular expertise in the print processes normally associated with labels, flexible packaging, shrink sleeve, cup, and tube production. Our graphic operators utilize the latest hardware and software to perform all necessary prepress services to maximize the potential of a file once printed. Digital file conversion and transfer is available for all major graphic formats ( .pdf, .eps, .psd, etc ).
Our operators have been trained to view the process from the press operators perspective, and to manipulate files in a manner that effectively minimizes set up time, and provides efficient production on press.
Superior service, quick turnaround, and technical expertise are the hallmark of our excellent staff, and the foundation of our continued success.
At Imageworx, we operate with several graphic software packages to create and modify files. We are fully trained in the Adobe Creative Suite, with particular emphasis on Illustrator and Photoshop. Our primary graphic conversion software for all common prepress functions, (color separation, trapping, step & repeat) is Esko Packedge. Photoshop and Colortone are utilized to modify process color images. Custom curves and color allowances are designated based on established customer requirements. Contract Proofs designed to simulate expected on-press print results are generated with GMG software and spectrophotometer equipped, multi-color inkjet proofing Epson print stations. These proofs are based on press profiling results obtained from initial set-up testing with the customer, and provide unmatched accuracy.
Imageworx also specializes in providing for the pre-press and plate making needs of the dry offset industry. Dry Offset, which is the process normally used for the production of cylindrical containers such as tubes, cartridges, cans, aerosols, and many other containers printed in the round. Servicing the Dry Offset market was Imageworx initial area of expertise upon our inception in 1997, and we maintain the most advanced equipment and technical experience to fill any need a client may require.
We realize that clients can vary in their level of technical expertise. As such, we are willing to work, train, and learn, with the end goal of consistently providing excellent print results, on your equipment. Secure file transfer is made simple and fast through our FTP Software. If needed we can provide custom ordering options tailored to your specific workflow.
Our philosophy regarding the prepress industry is to cut out the middleman, so you, as our valued client, will be dealing directly with the graphics technician working on your job, not a customer service representative who will be relaying your information. We feel this approach eliminates much of the possibility for errors and allows you easy access to the person most responsible for getting you exactly what you want, when you want it. We have found this approach to be very effective, and believe you will enjoy a working relationship with an experienced graphics professional that knows what you require and has the capability and tools to deliver.
