Graphic Design
We offer complete Desktop Publishing services, specializing in Newsletters, Brochures, Flyers, Ad layout, Logo development, Technical manuals and catalogs. Austin Graphics will take your rough draft, design or idea and create a document that you can showcase your products and sell from. We will work with you to create the necessary design, provide you with color proofs and produce film negatives for your printer. Using our Graphic Designers we will create or duplicate your company logo or design and incorporate it into your project.

Text Editing
Sometimes changes are needed after the job is sent. We support most popular desktop publishing software packages and, in most cases, we can make changes to your files upon request.

Preflighting Services
When preparing a file for output, some problems can be easily identified and fixed, such as missing fonts or images. However, some potential problems are more difficult and time consuming to pinpoint. However, there is a solution: Request "preflight" with your digital output order. Using specialized preflight software, our technicians can electronically analyze your file to find potential problems that are difficult to find even to the trained eye. This extra step can help ensure that your job isn't delayed by having to re-output your file.

Trapping
Trapping is the intentional overlapping of colors in a printed piece. If your job is not properly trapped, misregistration can cause unprinted paper to appear between touching colors or inks on your piece. Austin Graphics' technicians can help you avoid registration problems on press by trapping your digital file before film is imaged. Let us help you make your project easier to run on press-ask our technicians to trap your job before it goes to film.

Imposition
If your project involves book or pamphlet pages or a large press run, chances are the order and position in which the pages appear in your file don't correspond to the layout your printer needs to print your job. No problem, just ask Austin Graphics to impose your job. We'll need to know how your printer plans to print the project, for instance, "work and turn" or "sheetwise". Once we have the imposition order we'll layout your document so each page is in just the right position. The result: the pages will be properly oriented for printing, dramatically reducing the amount of stripping required by the printer.
