Preparing for Press

At the Garvey Group we pride ourselves in working collaboratively with our clients to develop products that will effectively achieve business goals. During the production phase, we can offer help with developing project concepts, creative services and prepare your project files to achieve optimal print results.

Proofing Technology

Our pre-press department believes in thorough color matching and correction for each and every project. To achieve these high standards we use The ORIS Digital Proofing System. The system is a complete proofing system, combining automation, color management, high-speed output and proofing-specific ink and paper. With ORIS, we can create contract quality proofs to meet any color critical output.

Our proofing options include:

Equipment Max Output
Epson Stylus PRO 11880 G7 Certified 64" x 81"
Kodak XP4 20" x 26"

Print Production Format (PPF). CIP3 is a graphic production industrycip3 organization that has developed a standard named PPF (Print Production Format) to allow integration of digital data among the pre-press, printing (press) and post-press operations. In effect, it allows all the devices in the three areas to “speak a common language” with the others. Using PPF standards improves the links between the processes and allows each device to do its job more quickly and efficiently. For our plate department technical personnel, this means more time available for them to oversee areas that require a skilled and experienced human eye; for customers, it means fast, error-free turnaround.

A Mastery of Colorg7

As of April 2009 The Garvey Group is G7 Master Printer Certified by IDEAlliance.

The IDEAlliance G7 Master Program is a qualification program that identifies those creatives, premedia and printing companies who have been trained to proof or print to G7 Neutral Print Density Curves and can meet print buyer requirements to produce proofs or printed output conforming to the metrics that reliably render brand images across print locations and different printing types. The qualification mark means that the printer uses the modern technology based on colorimetry, and employ G7 process controls. G7 Masters bear the IDEAlliance seal of approval. Attaining G7 Master status is a competitive goal for those providing creative, premedia and printing services, worldwide.
