Typical prepress traps and how to avoid them

Save time, money and aggravation! Ensure hassle-free printing and steer clear of common printing pitfalls

Working in a print shop, I saw so many jobs come in that, for one reason or another, could not be printed.

I know what you must be thinking … It happened because it was inevitable (could have happened to anyone), that it couldn’t have been predicted, or that it simply could not have been avoided.

And most of the time? It could have been entirely avoided! With a little care and double checking, most jobs can be printed.

You would be amazed at how printing problems are caused by trivial things. Most of them have to do with missing, incorrect, or badly created files.

Problems cause printing delays. Printers will charge you extra if they have to fiddle with your file to get it to print. But worse, it makes you look very unprofessional and that you don’t know what you are doing. You lose credibility with your client.

We’ll cover the key issues to avoid in order to guarantee printing success. Read about it here.
