The technological advances
made by Smith-Edwards-Dunlap in the direct-to-plate portion of the digital
prepress process benefits customers in every way possible. Efficiency.
Economy. Environment. SED is dedicated to all three.
The files that were approved in the digital proofing stage of the prepress
process are sent electronically to the platesetter. The same file that
was proofed by the SED staff and the customer is used to ensure integrity
of the project.
The platesetter is loaded with the correct
plate and the image is printed onto the plate. Smith-Edwards-Dunlap’s
experts then inspect the plate for any scratches or other defects. At
this point in the digital prepress process, the project has been checked
at least six times to guarantee quality in the finished project.
Since the creation of Smith-Edwards-Dunlap
over one hundred years ago, technological advancements have allowed
our professional prepress technicians to maintain better control over
quality and deadlines. SED is proud to use direct-to-plate printing
which has dramatically enhanced SED’s “get it done right,
get it done now” approach to offset printing. We are proud to
merge the latest commercial printing technology with our 19th century
values and serve clients from Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, and
Delaware to across the United States. Efficiency. Economy. Environment.
All in-house, right here in Philadelphia.
