PreMedia

From DTP to database publishing

“Een goed begin is het halve werk”. This is a Dutch saying, meaning, that if you have a good start you’ve already done half the work. This certainly applies to the graphic media industry. In order to acquire a high quality print production it is of paramount importance that the quality of input is at least as high as the quality of the production itself! Pre-media stands for all the activities that are necessary to realize an efficient and effective print production.

The activities of pre-media involve scanning, retouching images, preparing print files, lithography, DTP, high & low resolution proofing of images, layout, integration of language files and colour management. Activities such as database publishing where images, layout and text are automatically integrated in a graphic film from one or several databases, are also part of our pre-media. At Chevalier all these activities are concentrated in one of our business units called Digital Solutions, which is run by a team of experienced and knowledgeable staff. Knowing that we carry out all our processes in house, you can rely upon the input of your printing project meeting the highest quality requirements, quite comforting if you’d ask us!
