At District Creative Printing, while we regularly achieve amazing feats of scheduling, we also have a reliable and time-tested production system in place to keep projects moving along smoothly. Luckily not every job has to be proofed, printed, bound and delivered in five days, but if that’s the deadline, we know how to meet it.
District’s team of managers will make your project happen, when it needs to happen. |

District Creative creates digital proofs on one of our high-speed, wide-format plotters. We use the same front end for these proofs that drives both our CTP device and our imagesetter. By doing this, we insure that what you see on your proof is what you will see on your printed piece. Our FujiFilm FinalProof creates high-quality 4-color proofs of your job. We have gone to painstaking lengths to calibrate our FinalProofer to our printing presses to ensure that what you see on the FinalProof will be what you see on the final printed piece.For more information about our proofs and our proofing process, please feel free to contact your sales representative. |

The cornerstone of our digital prepress technology has been our investment in CTP (Computer To Plate) technology. Our Xcalibur VLF Computer-To-Plate Platesetter is linked to one of the most advanced and efficient workflows available today. Our supporting technologies help us to reduce waste in both labor and materials, reduce the risk of errors and streamline the operation, allowing us to pass on the savings in both time and cost to our clients. Ripping (Raster Image Processing) your file is the process of taking your page layout document from Quark, Pagemaker or InDesign, etc. and converting it to a language that our high resolution imaging equipment can understand. Ripping is a very complex process where file creation mistakes usually show up. However, once your file is ripped, it is locked and essentially not editable without returning to the layout application. District Creative Printing's philosophy is to rip the files once and output them to many devices. In that spirit, we have configured all of our prepress equipment, from the most basic proofing device, to our computer-to-plate imagers so they all use the same ripped file. This process greatly reduces the time spent handling your job and the chance for errors to occur by constantly re-ripping the file. With our system, we rip your files as individual pages. A 16-page book will have 16 individual ripped files. We do this to ensure the integrity of the data throughout the production and correction cycles. If you make a change on page 10, we only re-rip page 10. The other 15 remain intact, thus minimizing the chance of an error. Since we do not have to rip our data for each output device (ripping can be a time consuming process), we are always ready to start imaging at a moment's notice. This helps us make plates when the pressroom needs them and make proofs on time to meet your schedules. |
