Prepress is the term used in the printing and publishing industries for the processes and procedures that occur between the creation of a print layout and the final printing. This procedure includes the manufacture of a printing plate, image carrier, ready for mounting on a printing press, as well as the adjustment of images, photographs and texts or the creation of a high-quality print file. In today's prepress, either a PDF or native application files are created from programs such as Adobe Creative Suites, QuarkXPress, etc.
