This design was faxed over to us with instructions to clean up and make camera ready for a two color design to go on presentation folders. We recreated the design and added color in only 30 minutes time. With a faxed image, we can either scan it into our computer and clean it up, or recreate the image. This depends on how clear the fax is and how much detail will be involved. With almost any job, camera ready artwork can be sent off to the supplier along with color proofs the very same day if requested.
Color separations are often the most difficult and costly tasks to perform.
The steps below are typical of those which would be taken with any customer. The left image represents the original artwork. On the right are samples of how the image would look once separated. The image was then recreated in black and white and enlarged to fit the imprint area requested by the customer. Color was then added to the image and a color proof was sent to the customer.
