Printing defects can generate production losses and impair the brand image of publishers and clients.
Printers who encounter these problems often refer them to the papermaker or the ink manufacturer.
Issues that are difficult to resolve are commonplace for all suppliers along the graphic chain. Drawing on its experience, the CTP can analyse the problem and then propose either solutions to be implemented directly or resources to deeply investigate the matter.
The CTP will help you to reduce your losses through either a one-off service or large-scale developments in the context of a complete project.
