Prepress

WHAT IS PREPRESS?

Prepress is a term used in the commercial printing industry that involves the process of creating a print layout to the final printing. The digital prepress accepts electronic information and turns it into an output suitable for your printing needs.

HOW IT WORKS

Solo Printing combines a fully electronic G7 Master Certified Workflow with high speed digital prepress, digital proofing and direct-to-plate imaging. Our team of trained prepress technicians are experienced in all desktop publishing software, ensuring that the project you envision will be the product we deliver.

PREPRESS PRINTING BASICS

The prepress phase of the print process begins once the files have been submitted to the printer. A high-quality printed piece takes more than just stunning artwork and design layout. What most print buyers don’t know is, what you see on a computer screen is not necessarily what ends up being translated to paper. This is why a highly trained and experienced prepress department is vital to the printing process. Our prepress team is available 24 hours to assist you with any design issues and answer questions. We take a proactive stance in making your job right.

Solo Printing’s prepress process includes:

Solo utilizes a fully electronic G7 Master Certified Workflow with high speed digital prepress, digital proofing and direct-to-plate imaging.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUT US

TESTIMONIALS

“..the new issue is terrific. It was great fun opening the carton and smelling the fresh ink. More important, it looks great. The printing is top-notch, and it just feels good in my hands.”

“The Solo Team did an excellent job getting us started [with SP Direct]. It’s new to all of us and we heavily rely on Solo...Just looking at some of the results – it's phenomenal. And, the dashboard is amazing and so helpful. I’m able to visibly show the efforts and results of currently running campaigns to my boss and my internal team as well as our agency... I was going back in [to the dashboard] and tracking the mailing because that was something I’ve never had access to before. When I see the peak in the mail deliveries, I see a peak in my numbers.”

“Thank you so much for the beautiful calendars. I read every single quote, ran my hand over the varnishes, and snapped the edges to gauge the nice stock… As always, working with your team has been a true pleasure. I am so grateful for your knowledge, professionalism, and partnership…”

“We gathered 'round to inspect the precision of the print and finish (LOVE the emboss) and then had to crack down and get busy boxing them up and shipping them out. Without a doubt, Solo is the right partner for this kind of project, where our quality HAS to be reflected in the catalogs we distribute to our customers. Above all, we thank you and Deena for your personal attention to detail and follow-up throughout. We always knew that our job was a priority. Even when severe storms shut down half the country, you kept us moving. We couldn't be more pleased with the end result, and for your personal service throughout.”

“Your team did such a wonderful job for us on our “Program Highlights.” I know they went above and beyond to deliver by our due date and within our budget. Please extend to them our heartfelt thanks – especially since it was over the holidays when they probably would have liked more time with their families. And thank you for shepherding the project along and keeping Erica and me so closely informed of progress during those last critical days.”

“Hi, Rose. I know this was a big job with lots of moving parts – 250,000 copies addressed and mailed to dozens of zip codes PLUS boxed copies shipped to more than 50 addresses. Thank you so much for all that you did to make it a smooth process for us. I know it wasn’t a walk in the park! You’re a peach!”

“I would like to congratulate you on a great job. Our President Luis Sr. is very happy with the Anniversary Card. Thank you and have a blessed day,”

“The Year in Review looks phenomenal—great job as always! Thank you for making us look good and for working within our tight deadlines. And that’s why we wouldn’t trust this job to anyone else but Solo.”

“While operating in a segment and marketplace that are fraught with overcapacity and intense competition, Solo Printing has managed to make its slide of South Florida even hotter with a staple for business success.”

“Just wanted to take a moment to let you know all assets were received. Many thanks for all your support. They [brochures and flyers] look great - very good quality and service.”

“I find working with Solo to be an incredibly positive experience. They are very collaborative, do state-of-the-art printing and deliver on deadline. I publish in the Caribbean so it’s imperative that my publications get printed and on the boats in time each month to be in market on schedule and they always hit the mark. I highly recommend Michele and the whole Solo Printing team in Miami!”

"I LOVE working with Solo for so many reasons! Their quality is impeccable! They always meet our scheduling needs and any special requests I may have. They are the printer I can count on when in a crunch! And best of all, their customer service is top notch! They are hands down one of the top printers I work with. The team goes above and beyond when my teams or I have questions. They will take the time to teach, give recommendations on projects, and offer options. They are timely in quote turnaround time, production timing, and responding to any email requests I may have. When it comes to their products, their quality is consistently exceptional. It’s very clear they take pride in their work and value their partnerships. I could go on and on about Solo. So yes, I highly recommend them!"
