How can we help?

Insufficient quality of matrices

Poor quality printing dies are a common cause of problems with fits, underprinting, distortion and material losses. At Print Systems , we help printers achieve reproducible, high quality with Toyobo waterjet matrices, precision UV LED exposing machines and standardization of the prepress process. We eliminate errors, reduce proofing time and increase the predictability of results on the press, resulting in fewer complaints and greater customer satisfaction.

What do we hear from printers?

  • We receive complaints for lack of detail, uneven fit or too little contrast.
  • The print quality does not match what the design shows.
  • printing plates that we use in printing are unstable or vary between productions.
  • Orders are delayed by waiting for printing plates to be of sufficient quality.
  • We have no control over the quality, as it depends on a third-party die supplier.
  • It is difficult for us to judge which boards are best suited to our technologies and paints.
  • We lack a transparent cost model and control over the entire preparation process.

Our approach!

Prepress support for any print shop

We are the support of both printers who have their own prepress and those who outsource Plate preparation preparation. For the former, we accompany them in the selection of eco-friendly water-based plate technology and processing equipment. We support them in their day-to-day work, guaranteeing the optimal configuration of machines and the best organization of the prepress process. On the other hand, for printers outsourcing die production, we have a complete service of our own DTP Studio prepress, which combines graphic work with CTP.
