Pre-Press Team
Halcraft’s pre-press division is staffed by highly skilled technicians, most of whom have worked in the printing industry for 15 to 20 years. Once we receive your artwork or layout in electronic format, we assess each element for appropriateness relative to the end product. We often see problems not always obvious to the untrained eye. And, of course, we run the job only when all elements are perfect!
Plate-making, for offset print jobs, is also done during the pre-press phase.
We will also archive your files for use on repeat projects, a convenient and time-saving service we provide at no additional cost.
Production Team
Our 25-member production team brings decades of experience, ranging from 10 years to 40 years in the business. You can count on our team!
