Logos Corporate Identity Photo Retouching Color Correction Scans Typesetting Direct-To-Plate Technology In today's fast-paced world, it is vital for businesses to stay at the leading edge of technological advances. This is especially true for the printing industry which has undergone radical upgrades in recent years. In order to provide our customers with the highest quality and greatest flexibility while reducing turn around time and costs, Gateway invested in the best direct-to-plate technology available today. Our Lotem 400 eliminates the need for the costly, time-consuming production of film negatives. Press plates are produced directly from an electronic file at a speed of up to 27 plates per hour. The result is a crisper image on press with shorter, less expensive pre-press time than traditional film plating. Submitting Electronic Files With our fully-equipped pre-press department, Gateway can accept files on CD, zip disc or via email in all the most popular graphics software for both MAC and PC platforms including: For the MAC QuarkXpress*, Adobe Pagemaker*, Adobe In Design*, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, Macromedia Freehand, Adobe Acrobat Distiller, Adobe Acrobat Reader For the PC QuarkXpress*, Adobe Pagemaker*, CorelDraw, MS Publisher, MS Word, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Acrobat Distiller, Adobe Acrobat Reader. To reduce the potential problems on press, our team runs a "preflight" on all incoming files. We check for completeness (all colors, images and fonts must be included) and confirm the type of file supplied. CLICK HERE FOR TIPS ON PREPARING GRAPHIC FILES * Preferred programs |
