Our Electronic Prepress department is equipped with cutting-edge technology to support a seamless digital workflow, allowing for direct processing of files to plate or digital print equipment.

At Maple Press, we utilize the advanced Agfa ApogeeX technology and the latest Adobe PDF print engine to provide high-speed prepress solutions. With a focus on sustainability, we prioritize smooth file processing and quick turnaround times. Customers can securely transfer files to our prepress department through our FTP site or by utilizing other secure digital file transfer services. Our comprehensive preflight process includes virus checking, off-line file checking, digital imposition, and post-RIP preview before plating and printing, ensuring high-quality results.

Additionally, we offer soft proofing and printed digital proofs to expedite the prepress process and ensure accuracy.

To uphold illustration quality standards, we use high-resolution digital scanning technology, and our technicians carefully consider the paper selections and specific press that will be used for each title. Our digital halftone proofing services allow for accurate visual representations of what the final images will look like on a paper that similar to what will be used to print the production book.

By imaging electronic files directly to plate, we optimize the press platform for each title, maximizing cost-effectiveness and reducing material usage and waste. Our flexible systems allow for seamless transitions between digital, sheetfed, inkjet, and web presses as needed, supporting sustainable and cost-effective book manufacturing strategies throughout the book's lifecycle.
