Digital Prepress Department

Bright Print has a complete digital prepress facility ranging from design and concept services, digital file transfer and digital proofing to computer-to-plate technology. All prepress staff have extensive knowledge within the industry and are available for consultation at any stage of the pre-production process. With one of the most sophisticated prepress departments of any commercial printing company in Sydney, utilising the services of Bright Print's prepress department has many advantages for our customers.

All created artwork files are thoroughly proofread prior to release as final art.

All received files are flightchecked and scanned for errors in typography or composition prior to proceeding to production.

We have a dedicated Customer Liaison Team which checks and controls the release of artwork as a PDF or hard copy to the client. All communication with regard to artwork corrections or approvals is via the liaison team. Their expertise in the preparation of artwork suitable for production can be utilized by clients at any time. They have a direct phone number of 9765 8452 for convenient communication.

PREPRESS AND THE ENVIROMENT

Use of film and photographic chemicals within our prepress area has been eliminated by the introduction of Computer to Plate Technology. 100% of all metal plates used are collected and recycled. All proofs supplied to clients for print authorization are chemical free digital proofs. We have joined Planet Ark in their quest to recycle printer cartridges and consumables and save these components from entering landfill. We also ensure smaller areas of consumption are also monitored, such as silver recovery from old film, separating of aluminium cans for donation and recycling of redundant IT equipment.
