Color Separations: Should you not provide quality color scans on disk, LPB can make your separations from color prints, transparencies, flexible reflective art or from a previously printed sample. We do not recommend that you make a color separation from a previously printed piece because an unavoidable moire pattern may result. You also have to defocus the scanner to lessen the moire pattern which results in sub-par quality.

ART SERVICES / SETUP CHARGES:
FREE ART / SETUP / PLATES & SCREENS occasionally are offered with your products. If so, this will be noted with promotion and at time of quote.

If no such promotion should apply, graphic art / design services are available at an hourly rate with a minimum charge of $25.00. For additional scans, halftones, duotones, color separations, and B&W or color proofs, pricing is also available. We offer whatever prepress requirements are necessary to produce your quality product.

With our state of the art equipment, we can go direct to plate on more of your paper products (from disk to plate). However, we can also go direct to film if necessary. Film is additional and these prices are available in the Graphic Design & Prepress section. Dependent on quality and complexity of your job, the best plate method will be determined by us. Either way, both methods require a proof for your approval. We cannot proceed to press without this in hand! We reserve the right to select the plate method which will best serve your needs. All of these additional charges can be quoted with accuracy once we receive the exact details of the job.


Imagesetting: Images output up to 200 line screen and 1200dpi. Prices are for imaging film only. Excessive ripping times, imaging times, improper file setup, and troubleshooting are additional at the rate of 75.00 per hour.
