Printing and Design Process

• Pre-Press Artwork.  All mail pieces are stored for electronic prepress preparation prior to your press run.  We archive client artwork in Mac Quark high resolution 330 ppi images, with colorkeys in CMYK arrays.  Designs submitted in .pdf rbg files are acceptable for preliminary imaging.
• Pre-Press Approval.  All mail pieces are submitted for your approval in blue line renderings and with colorkey filmsets.  After your approval, the electronic file is transferred for press plates production.  All electronic files and plates are stored for any future production.
• Color.  Color is a major factor influencing consumer buying decisions.  Color and color differences should be taken into consideration to achieve the most readership possible for each mailpiece.  Color separations at Pre-Press are created on Crossfield 46 drum scanners -- the state-of-the-art for all color separations.  All color decisions are manipulated and commanded on PowerMac 9500 workstations.
• Print Processing.  Audience Index Marketing contracts for each print run on the print equipment best suited for each application.  We are able to arrange your mailpiece production in sheet fed and Web Press production runs -- in 2-color and up to 6-color combinations.  Sheet fed presses are waterless and can be printed conventionally or with varnishes for high-gloss paperstock.  Web Press production is available at 44" wide formats and unlimited lengths; in one pressrun for 4-color separations.  Web Press is especially useful for newsprint, newsletter, self-mailers of same design, and cardstock of all densities and sizes.  Inks are available in conventional colorings and chemical compositions for any paperstock.
• Bindery Services.  All mailpiece bindery services are available to best package your mail campaign.  Mailpieces can be folded in any manner that is acceptable to the US Postal Service.  Brochure bindery, stapling, thermo-bindery, and jacket wraps are onsite for immediate bindery packaging.  We are fully capable of performing all of your booklet assembly, bindery and polybag insert/sealing projects.  Mailpiece quantities are boxed onsite and pallet loaded for delivery or for storage onsite.

The printing and design process can seem overwhelming.  Audience Index Marketing has been designing and printing successful mail campaigns for over 20 years.  Let us handle all of your printing and design needs -- you will be kept informed along the way and given the opportunity to make changes and approvals at each stage of the process.
