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!
