Standardised PDF in prepress:

At the very start of the process, it is crucial for a service provider or publisher to supply files that comply with current industry file standards. This enables partners at every stage of the graphic production line to accurately proof and reproduce the files without any printing problems.

Alwan solutions ensure standardised files that can be used by anyone in the production line, anywhere in the world.

Alwan CMYK Optimizer® is the first Preflight, Standardisation and Optimisation software for four colour separation files.

It allows photographers, designers and prepress companies to quickly and accurately produce documents for problem-free printing. Printers gain the capability to control and improve the printability of files containing four-colour separations by optimising the separation according to the actual process/press/paper. Standardised files using CMYK Optimizer will generate reproducible proofs as well as plates and cylinders that allow optimum printability and runability on press.
