After design, prepress is the first production step. It is here we determine how the job will print and what is the ideal digital workflow to a successful completion. Our pre-press technicians take your file from preflight, proofing, right through to plates. Using leading edge software the process ensures accurate colour reproduction through all stages of the digital workflow. So customer approved proofs are always matched on press, run after run.

Prepress has seen great advances since Cober first laid ink to paper. As print craft evolved from letterpress into offset, then digital solutions so have the proficiency of our prepress department. Our electronic transition started with a CREO/SCITEX - DOLEV 450 (small format film image setter), next a CREO/SCITEX - DOLEV 800V2 (40" film image setter) with Brisque workflow into todays KODAK LOTEM 800 (40"/29" direct to plate) driven by KODAK PRINERGY workflow system.

The digital press is one of the great developments in the printing industry in the last decade. Digital printing is the process of imaging digital desktop files to a full range of substrates by means of a device that accepts text and graphic output. We simply take your digital files and go direct to print.

1. You can print lower quantities in full colour economically (reduced production steps from offset printing, no plates)
2. Allows short runs of brochures for time sensitive events with virtually no lead time
3. POD (print on demand) allows clients to order print online only what you need when required
4. VDP (variable data printing) allows you to print personalized versions of sales sheets that optimize One-to-One marketing. Each piece is tailored to your clients prospects: more personal, attractive, and effective
5. Increased flexibility to update content more frequently so materials are current and relevant
6. Eases your budget by minimizing surplus literature and eliminate warehousing
7. Meets your environmental commitments

Think about what that means to your growing business print needs. Digital print may not perfect for all your printing needs. While digital printing has steadily replaced lithography in some markets, the consumer and business level it is just one more tool in our solutions portfolio. For all your traditional full colour, premium, large print run jobs where special coatings or metallic inks are the order we have a 10 colour press inked and ready.

For decades now, Cober Printing has been perfecting its craft. While our commitment to lead the industry in technological innovations has greatly expanded our service solutions, it is our advancements with offset printing that really set us apart. No other process can showcase your higher-volume special print vision like today's litho. Our ability to lay down custom inks, metallics, spot PMS colours and varnishes is unmatched, but it is our investment in ground breaking technology that keeps us ahead of the crowd and you with glowing reports.

While conventional offset printing has long been the standard in print reproduction, there is nothing ordinary about our approach. We print 20.1 micron stochastic as standard on our 21 colour-managed printing units including a 10-colour Heidelberg SpeedMaster SM102 with in-line aqueous tower with the CPC 2000 and image control. All presses are colour managed with colour print controls and digital ink profiling. We even have an on-site ink lab to insure consistency. By removing as many variables as possible out of the process we can confidently deliver beautiful print at the unheard of turn around times we are known for.

When our customers are ecstatic with the final product we’ve done our job right. But awe-inspiring print is only half the battle. A beautifully printed sheet is not a brochure nor an annual report until it is skillfully folded, trimmed, drilled, stitched or bound. It is the print finishing stage that can elevate a piece or leave it wanting.

Inside our “All-In-1” state-of-the-art finishing department we follow the same approach as our printing. Marrying state-of-the-art folders, binders and trimmers with skilled technicians we deliver a vast array of quality finishing solutions that complete a project above expectation. Whether you require folding, saddle/loop stitching, perfect binding, drilling, die cutting, shrink-wrapping, pocket folding/gluing or hand work we’re up to the challenge.
