Frequently Asked Questions: Catalog & Magazine Printing

From color profiles to variable data covers, here are the technical questions we hear most from Reno-area publishers and industrial catalog managers.

What color profile should I use for my catalog files?

We prefer files submitted in CMYK with the GRACoL2013 or SWOP profile, depending on the substrate. For a detailed breakdown of our technical requirements, please visit our Pre-Press & Design File Prep page.

Do you offer calibrated contract proofs?

Yes. For color-critical publications, we provide G7-calibrated “Contract Proofs” that serve as the lithographic target for the pressroom. We believe in “Touch & Feel” assurance—calibrated proofs are always available for your evaluation.

Can you handle “Variable Data” covers?

Absolutely. We can integrate high-speed digital inkjet technology with offset interiors to provide personalized covers or localized “versioning” for different Nevada or national markets.
