Pre Press

Linked closely to our print department via Image Control is our Pre Press studio.  We can receive your artwork in all file formats and colour calibrate it to our printing presses, guaranteeing accurate reproduction.  We flight check your artwork and can accommodate any last minute amendments or updates, in fact our studio suite can even design it for you.  All our proofs meet the FOGRA39 Standard for reproducing colour through print, and we offer proofing options.  With our dedicated OnLine Access you can even upload your artwork, and view proofs.

Our attention to detail is unprecedented so if we spot anything, an inconsistency, a typo, an error we’ll contact you, rectify the problem, and deliver the print that meets, and often exceeds your expectations.

If you require any guidance or information on supplying your artwork, just speak to Stuart or Dave on 01684 850960.

Print Certifications

ISO 9001 – Quality Management Standard

ISO 9001 is the internationally recognised standard for the quality management of businesses.  It ensures that the needs of both customers and employees are met, resulting in satisfied customers and a content workforce. As holders of ISO 9001 Orchard Press (Cheltenham) Ltd is committed to high standards and will seek continual improvement.

ISO 12647 – 2 – Colour Reproduction Standard

The ISO 12647 – 2 standard we are working to has been created as an international standard that sets a series of tight guidelines for reproducing colour across the reprographic and printing workflow. It’s a peg in the ground for colour consistency. The specification has targets and measurement settings for every process including different paper types and tackles the differences in printing with different inks, as they all have differing properties.  The result is an improvement in colour consistency, and less waste as digital information, proofs, and printing are all brought together.

Our printing credentials also extend to FSC, PEFC and ISO 14001 environmental certifications.
