From verifying bleed areas to inspecting for white overprints, we meticulously examine every detail to eliminate potential printing errors.

1. Resolution Review
We first look into checking the resolution of the files that we receive. We understand that a high-resolution lens is essential to a sharp and clear picture. Our team ensures that all the images are perfectly optimised so that no blurriness or pixelation occurs which in turn gives vibrant retention of the desired colours on your products.
2. Size Verification
Moreover, we ensure the dimensions of the artwork are correct too. In this way, the client can see the pictures of the portraits in the desired effect and then can even customize the framing act likewise.
To make this process as smooth as possible, we offer a selection of pre-designed templates that match our most popular product sizes. Simply use these layout templates as a base for your design, and you can rest assured your artwork will be perfectly sized for your chosen product. Of course, if you have a custom size in mind, our team is happy to double-check your dimensions to eliminate any surprises.

5. Human Verification of Artwork Matching the Order Specs
The project moves through a comprehensive examination by humans, who compare your artwork with the order specifications. This stage plays a vital role in making sure everything is by your requisites, restricting any defective product or changes.
6. Color Mode Review and Evaluation for Major Color Shift
The colours can appear much differently on the screen than they do when printed. We examine the colour mode and look for any major colour shifts to guarantee that the final print is exactly as you wanted it to be.
7. Preflight Inspection Press Ready Files and Final Human Inspection
We take your files through a preflight check before putting them on the press. To support this, the information in the received files will be also inspected by a real person, who will take all the possible last things so that the file can be properly completed and will then print the material no matter what. Your files will be checked by your staff whether or not they have some remaining mistakes or if they are good to go for the entire printing process by doing a final evaluation themselves.

8. Check for Overprint
If we identify any overprint concerns, we'll communicate them to you clearly. This allows you to understand the potential impact and make informed decisions about how to proceed. We can either adjust the artwork based on your input or guide you on the best way to handle the overprint for your desired outcome.

10. Electronic Form of WAG Cabinets to the Next Working Zone
Verification is done by the computer to verify if the files were uploaded to the next department successfully. This pre-flight procedure ensures that the team is running smoothly by screening potential issues thus decreasing work mistakes.
11. Pre-flight: Electrification and Checking
Our pre-flight checks cover checking palette files for correct font, vector images, raster images and proper file closeouts including the format the image is scanned in. The thorough check involved assures that all parts of the image are set and prepared to be printed. The alterations that need to be done to the artwork involve adding more track points to the dancer and eradicating the diffused light from one of the photographs.
12. InRip Trapping for Optimal Print Registration
This procedure, called InRip trapping, compensates for minor misalignments of print colours by moving the colours accordingly. That step is aimed at ensuring that the prints are pretty neat, with no colour overlaps or fugitive edges.

One of the claims our company makes is our belief in the ability of the human eye. Our team go over the order details carefully and re-checks the work to confirm that every part of the order is correct before it is printed.

After printing has been done, one of our team members takes a look at the output to make sure it meets our specified criteria and the customer's requests.
