Prepress & Data Conversion

DPS provides expert content services and innovative technology solutions that drive revenue growth, streamline operations, and ensure editorial excellence.

To define Prepress, it is the process through which a document should pass through before it is printed. There are several steps involved in the Prepress process such as editing, pagination, roof reading, scanning, color separation, layout, and other text and graphics related functions. In the same way, Typesetting is the process of presenting the text in the graphical layout. However, when it comes to digital prepress and typesetting, the process becomes exceptionally intricate since there are minutest details pertaining to text and graphic layout, formatting, color formation, and other features that should be taken care of.
