PRE-PRESS
Prepress is the “heart” of our manufacturing process. We operate as an extension of our customers graphic design process. Using a powerful combination of highly automated imposition and file processing software, together with color proofing systems optimized to our pressroom, Leatherback offers consistent, reliable file processing from the desktop to the pressroom and all the way through to finishing.

Every project we handle requires custom manufacturing techniques – no two jobs are the same. Our diligence and craftsmanship assure the integrity of your projects throughout the process and deliver a finished piece worthy of your trust.

Our technicians are always happy to assist in providing workflow advice or suggestions that may lead to a faster delivery or lower cost.
