Graphic Print Production Flow Analysis
The graphic print production flow consists of eight steps; each step has a purpose in order to successfully create graphically printed works. There will be four separate phases of this flow which contain eight different steps.
Phase One - Idea and Concept The basis for your project primarily consists of step number one, Strategic Work; this step will let you know if a printed product is truly needed. You are in charge of this step; you will want to ask questions that will clearly define your product, define the goals in which you have, who you are intending this product for, as well as the purpose of the product.

After the adjustments have then been made to your layout, you will begin sending out many defend proofs to many interested parties. These party members will be able to attach comments and instructions about the changes in which should be made; proofs are sent using PDF format, Acrobat (an Adobe program) allows the comments to be saved to the documents.
Phase Three - Industrial Production The creation on high-resolution PDF-files, making images and documents print-ready, controlling imposition and screen frequency, as well as technologies such as a postscript, PDF, JDG, and different types of contract proofs is considered Prepress. Prepress is performed by the printing …show more content…
The higher quality materials you choose to use in your printed material affects the cost greatly. The paper you choose to use for your printing can differ in quality if you have a higher volume of pages to be printed, you are better off choosing the cheaper paper, the large volume of pager will in turn make the product feel of higher quality. Odd layout use may create a large amount of paper waste. A way to save on the paper portion would be if you generally purchase your paper from the printer in which you trust, try asking the price comparison for a few paper
