OK, so now you know how the market and organization
works but how does it all come together? There are
three main processes to occur to get the idea to
print to the customer:
- Pre-press - From design to production of the
image carrier
- Press - The process for transferring image to
substrate. electronic or conventional
- Post Press - fi nal manufacturing processes;
folding, conversion, binding, die-cutting, etc.
As printing is changing today, the following diagrams
depict the fl ow of a job from various plants; conventional,
digital and a combination.
It takes a lot of work to get the idea a customer
has through the printing pro-cess and to them in
the way they envisioned!
