prepress and reprographics
Managing the prepress process happens in the job’s infancy, alongside design. Careful repro planning is the key to a successful job.

We work with the designers and printer, whether internal or outsourced, to eliminate all possible pitfalls. Pre-emptive management of this process saves our customers money.

Willsons have invested substantially in digital plate-setters ‘CTP’ and colour proofing systems to ensure consistent results.

Computer to Plate
Productivity often suffers where manual processes are in operation. The Heidelberg Trendsetter and Topsetter ‘CTP’ systems eliminate them. These systems generate printing plates directly from digital data received from the creative workflow, whether a native application, postscript or PDF.Sophisticated planning software provides all the power needed to successfully manage this multi-source workflow.

Computer to Proof
The CREO Spectrum addition for the Trendsetter provides premium digital proofs, better than anything you’ve seen before. Proofs are made using the same digital data that will produce the plates. So what you see on the proof is exactly what you get on the plate. Digital Cromalin systems and HP inkjet plotters provide alternative low cost proofing solutions.
