Page Preparation

With today’s turnaround times being hours rather than days, you need a prepress operation that’s fully up to your speed. At Blackhawk, we’ve invested in state-of-the-industry digital capabilities so we can meet your turnaround times – and your unique workflow requirements.

Unmatched flexibility

Our highly flexible and efficient digital workflow, based on the latest version of Adobe’snewsmimac2002.jpg (18569 bytes) enhanced PostScript workflow, makes all the difference. After RIPing, trapping, stripping and assembly, jobs are stored as a collection of separate, fully editable pages. Imposition takes place separately. It happens "on the fly," depending on the output option you choose. We call it "RIP once, print many."

All this means that your individual pages can be changed as-needed, up to the last minute. Because RIPing happens only once – it’s the most time-consuming step in the prepress process – changes will have minimal impact on your overall schedule and budget. Digital proofs are generated from the same raster data that will be imaged on film or on plate, so what you see really is what you’ll get from the printer.

We do it your way

On large jobs, you can send pages to Blackhawk in "batches" as they’re completed and we can begin prepress processing. Once we’ve customized your workflow template, you can count on things happening exactly the way you want them to, time after time.
