OUR DREAM BUILDER PRE PRESS MACHINES

AGFA ACENTO

For us, prepress begins during design and concludes in print production. The entire process includes five phases: design, reproduction, proof, form and print.

The interaction between the individual phases is very complex, which is why the results from each individual phase are decisively important for the further process.

We use the Agfa Acento for our CTP needs. With an output of up to 20 plates an hour, we can produce rush jobs or jobs with a large number plates in a shorter period of time.

We can increase the added value for our customers from phase to phase by setting the right course at the right moment in a seamless process. On the other hand, if interruptions occur these are usually linked to friction losses, which have a negative impact on quality and cost efficiency. In an ideal situation we therefore accompany our customers through all five stages in the process and always keep sight of their multi-layered interplay as this happens.

It is specifically this process competence, which is inseparably linked to our staff’s skill, which makes our portfolio so valuable. Together with our expertise in our customers’ target markets, it forms the foundation for every prepress solution.

WE ENERGIZE YOUR GOAL AND SUSTAIN YOUR DREAM Many times we assume that power will always be functioning and that a blackout or even a brownout will not occur. But there are cases where the power does go out, and this can often occur for an unspecified moment and amount of time. In the commercial business world, these outages can be extremely costly.

We use a backup power source that save us and our client thousands, perhaps millions in lost revenue due to loss of electrical power.

Our clients should have nothing to fear when the next storm arrives or a problem occurs with the local power grid. We have a good, solid power generator that gives our business a safe, secure backup power source that will not halt our production.

Our backup power source consist of: • Stamford Power Generator • Kipor Power Generator

No company can buy its reputation, regardless of what industry it is in.

Reputation must be earned.

In our case, that’s by delivering quality printing and supporting services, consistently, over time.

The company and corporate logos featured on this page represents some of our satisfied clients. Of course, you’re only seeing the ‘graphic signatures’ of some clients we have served. However, our professional pride and satisfaction is not based on logos but, rather, on the actual printed pieces we produced for these clients, and many others too. And, since we can’t reproduce their full brochures or other pieces in our own brochure here, we will be happy to show you an original of any or all of those pieces for your examination.

That way, you will get a very intimate, hands-on feel for exactly how we earned our reputation.
