The pre-production stage is no-pressure and requires no commitment from you, so you are free to consider the wide variety of printing options we can offer to you.

Production
While pre-production is all about planning, the majority of the action occurs in the production stage. Your project will be prepared digitally for the press by our Pre-Press Department, who will issue a proof of your project before it goes to print. After final proof approvals are submitted, the paper you have selected is fed into the press and your project is printed. Production is followed by the post-production stage.
-
Pre-PressOur Pre-Press Department handles all digital aspects of the project. Here at Honsa-Binder Printing, we are skilled at formatting your project for the press to optimize the usage of each page. This reduces press time and paper, which lowers our cost to you.
-
Proof(s) of Your ProjectWith a proof of your project you will no longer need to visualize what the finished product will look like - you will have an example in front of you! Inform us of any adjustments that need to be made, and we will perfect your project.
-
Final Approval of Project ProofsOnce you receive your proof, we ask that you look it over carefully for any errors or last-minute changes. When everything looks good, issue your final approval of the proof(s). With your approval, the project can be put on press.
-
Your Project Goes to PressYour project has reached the most exciting part of the printing process - the printing press. Whether you selected a digital or litho process, our skilled pressmen will turn your project into a work of art you will be proud to display.
Post-Production
The post-production stage is where all of the finishing touches are applied to your project. Your project undergoes any finishing processes decided upon during the pre-production consultation and is packaged up for pick up or delivery. While many projects enter our shop as ideas, each one exits as a finished product. Throughout any stage of the process we are always available and happy to answer your questions, whether it is before, during, or well after your project has been completed.
-
FinishingDepending on your project specifics, finishing can include simple processes such as cutting down printed stock to more complex multi-stage processes that involve engraving or binding. We offer a wide array of options for project finishing: if you can think of it, we can do it.
-
