FILE PROCESSING SOLUTIONS -- Getting into the Flow

After preflighting, jobs are passed to the prepress operation's Nexus front-end system from Artwork Systems. Any required trapping is done on that system for a fee. "Customers are welcome to take trapping on themselves," Bacsik notes. "The products we print are primarily catalogs and publications, so all that's generally required is setting overprints. We usually only get involved with more complex pages. Nexus provides in-RIP trapping, but we still need to evaluate the page."
