Prepress

Streamline and improve, the business model used every day at American Printing. What was once workable won’t cut it by our standards. Picture your project in a clean, all-digital workflow, with every step in the process, from job launch to press production, designed to reduce time and expense. Now, add the CIP-4 technology, which networks digital prepress directly to the press color console, and you have the basis of the American Printing Company’s direct-to-plate system.
