Book Printer Australia Prepress

We have a versatile and experienced prepress department able to assist with the smooth production of publications from electronic file. 

For a successful print run, at a high-quality standard, our preferred file format is a press ready Portable Document Format (PDF).  A PDF ensures that your printed or viewed file retains the formatting that you intended.

Please ensure that your PDF preference is set for press quality. This will ensure that fonts and images are embedded and that not loss of data occurs during the printing process.

Please view our Print Ready Guide to learn how to set your document up for press quality print.

Once we have received your file, a proof of your job will be created and sent to you for approval.

We produce colour work within the guidelines of the ISO 12647-2 Offset Print standard and our production use Fogra 39 characterisation data for our reproduction target, measured and assessed using industry standard resources and processes to ensure we maintain colour consistency.

Whether you are a first-time publisher, or seasoned professional, Ligare can provide you with the right resources and advice to support your project.

We can also assist with any cover design, illustration and typesetting you need.
