What is Proofing? and why is it so important?

What is Print Proofing?

One of the most important steps in the pre press design stage is proofing. Many print projects fail miserably because the client or printer did not proof their files before printing. This usually results in either the client being stuck with a product not meeting their expectations or having to waste time & money reprinting their publication.

CMYK versus RGB in Printing.

This is the big question asked by many of ActsCo's clients and with no formal training (shh i won't tell!) can leave alot of people scratching their head or redoing their already completed design work.
Because understanding the difference between the 2 is such a vital part in the printing process, i will give you a quick overview between RGB/CMYK conversion in hope it will help you on the way to a great print solution

What is bleed and why is it important?

What is printing bleed?

"Bleed" is an essential part of creating artwork for print. Professional designers will always extend (or 'bleed') background elements and images beyond the edges of the document by an additional 4mm or so. This prevents unwanted white borders around the edges of a printed document.

Offset or Digital Printing?

Most arguments you see on offset printing vs digital printing comes from the perspective of someone that has a interest in one or the other technology. We produce both offset and digital printing at ActsCo so we provide a rather neutral perspective on both sides.

What is Digital Print?

Digital printing is the reproduction of digital images on a physical surface. It is generally used for short print runs, and for the customization of print media.
