The rules are simple enough:

• Always work with high-resolution originals for best creative control
• Do all color correction, trapping, preflight and proofing in-house to save time and money
• Exercise control over every aspect of the job until the printing plates are made to end output "surprises" and eliminate on-press modifications
• The process shaves weeks off production schedules, saves tons of money in post-design file preparation, and cuts error rates to almost zero
