: Digital Print Services
Calders have a comprehensive digital printing service centred around the Xerox DocuColour 2060 digital press. The printing is complemented by a complete finishing service including folding, stitching, creasing, wiro-binding and laminating.
: PDF Workflow
Calders design and pre-press workflow is predominately PDF with some postscript to the digital printers. Designers generate PDF files from their workstations to firstly check the files before further processing. This eliminates 99% of human error due to size, orientation, bleed etc.
: Supplying Files
Calders encourage customers to supply PDF files for printing to digital and offset presses. Provided that the PDF files are correctly produced, most problems that normally occur with native program files are eliminated. Nevertheless, all supplied PDF files undergo a rigorous preflight through Enfocus Pitstop Professional®, the world's leading PDF editing program.
Calders has a comprehensive range of software for Macintosh and Windows platforms and can accept native program files from programmes such as QuarkXpress™ 6.0 (Mac & Win), Pagemaker 7.0 (Mac & Win), InDesign 2.0 (Mac & Win), Freehand 11.0 (Mac & Win), Illustrator 10.0 (Mac & Win), Photoshop CS (Mac & Win), Coreldraw 11.0 (Win), Office 2003 (Mac & Win), plus many other minor programs too numerous to mention.
