the latest software

Each system has most of the latest software packages for:

• image creation and manipulation
• graphics
• design
• page layout
• word processing and database
• basic web site creation

We are continually updating and managing our systems so please ask if there is any program you think we might not have, you may well be surprised at what we can do.

The popularity and development of email systems and the internet has revolutionised the handling of information, none more so than in the graphics world. At present the majority of our work is received as attachments to emails. This offers the convenience of fast and secure data transfer as well as the facility for detailed instructions, official orders and other information.

portability

Email and the PDF format is also the preferred method of proofing in this electronic age. Again it allows for fast turn-around, accurate and detailed representations of designs and finished artwork. We do still have full resources for traditional proofing methods, colour laser proofs, Cromalin and similar systems, high resolution laser output to name but a few.

Your designs, ideas or finished artwork can be received in all the modern formats and on most media.

Full security is in place on all our machines, with the latest virus software fully maintained for both incoming and outgoing data on all media types, email and internet systems to minimize the risks of infection and corruption.
