Artwork and Pre-Press

Artwork and Pre-press is our speciality. We have worked with print for over 3 decades. It has changed a great deal during that time, but we have kept up with the processes and always added to our, already in-depth, knowledge base.

The Printing Process

Knowing how to present your artwork for press is essential when working with images that are to be printed. At Bill Greenwood Ltd we understand the whole process and work in partnership with our clients to deliver the finest end products, ready for press. We also offer consultancy to help your business in understanding the processes that we have to go through to achieve high-quality images on beautifully printed materials. We are available for press-passing and love to see our artwork through to the very end.
