Service overview

Today's pre-media department offers

Image Centre built it's early reputation on high quality scanning and colour work. Today our highly skilled and experienced craftsman have mastered the key factors in digital workflow to ensure we maintain our reputation.

We offer SOOM (scan once output many) at the start of our proven RGB workflow. This allows our clients to utilise the economies of scale that multi-channel re-purposing model provides while maintaining superior quality and affording real flexibility in creative print work. Quality is maximised across all forms of print and display channels including large format digital print, sheetfed and weboffset printing, and electronic display.

The team utilises ICC (International Colour Consortium) standards on all of our output devices to offer a completely colour managed workflow that simply means the final product matches proofing. As well as deploying a colour managed workflow internally we have a wealth of experience regularly working with a range of external print shops to offer colour managed workflows that meet our clients needs.

Our PDF workflow is underpinned by ROOM (Rip once output many) technology that allows us to deliver the same "ripped" file to multiple output devices. This lets us utilise the benefits of electronic proofing early in the workflow while ensuring later content and contract proofs maintain vital file integrity.
