Our Electronic Prepress Department supports an all-digital workflow and can process files from a variety of platforms to imposed film or directly to plate.
We accept most common computer storage media and can also securely receive files via our FTP site.
All files undergo an extensive preflighting process including virus checking, off-line file checking, digital imposition, and post-RIP preview prior to electronic imaging or plating.
Illustration quality is maintained through the use of extremely high resolution digital scanning technology. Our scanning technicians take into consideration paper selection and the press that will print each title.
Digital halftone proofing services are provided for prompt and accurate review of scanned illustrations. Electronic, PDF-approval proofing is also available to further expedite the review process.
We now offer Final PDFs from our printing files; consult with your Sales Representative or CSR for details.
Digital Processing
Electronic files are imaged directly to plate for the most efficient production of both web and large sheetfed titles. Files can also be prepared for production on our film imagesetters, as well as for on-demand printing with our business partners for runs as low as a single copy.
Conventional Processing
Maple-Vail has the capability to support traditional media including camera-ready copy, negatives or film flats for book projects.
By combining the benefits of digital scanning and proofing technologies with conventional media, each title is processed efficiently and accurately to ensure quality printing.Maple-Vail's experience and attention to detail afford maximum consistency when delivering materials to press, while simultaneously tailoring them to your requirements.
