ACTA PRINT HELPS
It
is always possible to have errors in the material. If an error is
encountered while preflighting the received material at Acta
Print, we ask for a new, corrected version, or for a permission to
correct the error at Acta Print. We do correct obvious mistakes
automatically, of course. Please keep in mind that, in spite of
the new digital technology, at Acta Print there is always a person
involved in every step, a person who wonders and doubts and, when
necessary, gives a buzz to the client in order to make sure how
the page should really look like!
For more information and advice, please do not hesitate to call
us: Acta Print, Risto Ailio, tel. +358 9 618 55 285 or email risto.ailio@actaprint.fi
Ready-made
films
If the customer sends us ready-made film material, we must
convert it to digital form by scanning. Scanning films to files
creates considerable quality problems; therefore we do not
recommend using films.
Proofs
The
easiest way to send a proof to the client is email. A
low-resolu-tion pdf file or a TIFF or JPEG image file moves
quickly over the phone line to be checked. In this way the proof
traffic takes place as quickly as the rest of the prepress
process.
A proof can also be supplied as a hard copy. In this case, the
printing method and the paper type are considered while producing
the proof. Therefore a hard-copy proof gives a true indication of
the final print. Cromaline never told the absolute truth of the
final print, in spite of it's quality (or actually because of it).
As a matter of fact, a proof is not necessary, as the pdf file
supplied by the client is an electronic proof as such.
