Prepress is the term used in the printing and publishing industries for the processes and procedures that occur between the creation of a print layout and the final printing. The prepress procedure includes the manufacture of a printing plate, image carrier or form, ready for mounting on a printing press, as well as the adjustment of images and texts or the creation of a high-quality print file. In today's prepress shop, the form of delivery from the customer is usually electronic, either a PDF or application files created from such programs as Adobe InDesign or QuarkXPress.

Q. Hi I just want to know What "CTP" means in Printing industry or in Prepress.?
Asked by Fijian_king - Wed May 10 20:18:07 2006 - - 2 Answers - 1 Comments

A. Color trial proof. Generally, these proofs have the same printing elements as those in the edition. However, they may deviate from the edition through a sequence or color variance, or through added or deleted elements as in the trial proof. A color trial proof may have been pulled at any time during the proofing period or during the printing of the edition. They are signed if the artist feels they are a unique and desirable variation. OR CTP: Computer-to-plate; a method that avoids the use of film.

Graphic design Q's?
Q. What is a 4 color prepress process? What is collateral? What is an email blast?
Asked by Sandy - Wed May 21 14:10:00 2008 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. The four colors are Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black. Colors on-screen will look different than the colors you get when you do the print, so the prepress process makes sample prints to allow a 'fine tuning' of the color mix before it's sent to the press for mass production. Collateral simply means printed material. An example would be this definition from wikipedia: Marketing collateral: printed materials to present business information, e.g. leaflets, folders, brochures, fliers, fact sheets, direct mail pieces. An Email Blast is an electronic mailing, sent all at once to a large mailing list.
