Printing Pre-Flight
A personal, hands-on file review before press: catch problems before they become expensive mistakes.
Stop paying for press mistakes that could have been caught
Most printing problems aren't discovered until after the job runs — blurry images because the resolution was too low, colors that shift because the file was RGB instead of CMYK, or white edges on a full-bleed design because the bleeds weren't set up correctly.
A pre-flight review catches every one of those problems before your file goes to press. Rex reviews your file personally, identifies every issue, and gives you a clear written report of exactly what needs to be fixed — and why.
