Pre-Press Department

The technological advances in commercial print production that have taken place in recent years are amazing and Citizen has kept pace. After your electronic files depart the graphics department via our high speed network, the journey continues through an integrated system of state of the art processes.

Once successfully interpreted through a series of production software functions, your electronic artwork is converted to raster form. Your files are then able to cyberscamper through digital stripping for layout and on to all our output devices. For your final approval before going to press, you will receive a full size color calibrated proof, showing you exactly what will be imaged on the plates.

After final proofing, your files transfer to our cutting edge computer-to-plate system. Ask about the latest Stochastic and AM/FM Hybrid screening technologies for your next project. In instituting CTP technology, we were able to take advantage of dramatically improved dot precision on plate making. With the finer, more organic dot patterns in stochastic screening, an exciting new option is available to you that can provide the pleasing, vivid images you are looking for.
