Creating custom impositions for printing with quarterfold & tabloid publications. Inspecting and preflighting magazines, books, and collateral. I performed prepress services producing mockups and providing consultations with customers when necessary.
Imposition and prepress of commercial periodical quarterfolds.
Black and white pages require review for RGB and CMYK color text and images. The content is screened for placeholders and misaligned text.
Full color pages on a web press are reviewed for small black text that is not set as 100 black. Small text that uses several colors can become hard to read if the printing becomes misaligned. The content is also screened for placeholders and errors.
The cover can be printed on half-webs to be cost effective while using a heavier enamel paper.Â
Proofs of the publications are created with large format printers. The pages are reviewed manually to ensure no errors in placement and alignment.
New templates are created to accommodate specialty sizing.
Perfect bound publications are processed and printed in-house before being shipped to a contractor for binding.
Tabloid publications can use the same paper as the quarterfolds but are laid out, folded, and trimmed differently.
An in-house Konika Minolta digital press gave us the ability to operate direct mail campaigns from design through production.
Digital press layouts allow the use of variable data labeling with data merge.
Business card prepress and imposition.
Full bleed layouts allow artwork to extend to the edge of the card.
Butt cut placement optimizes production time with fewer cuts.
I designed this collateral for the OSEA trade show. It uses perforations to create a business card with an attached promotion.
