Electronic Prep Department
We are heavily involved with advancing technology. This is no exception when it comes to our electronic pre-press department. Pre-press is a vital portion to the production of a piece of printing. With the advent of "desk-top" publishing systems, in the early eighties, We have had the opportunity to combine the skills of a conventional pre-press department with the technology and precision of the computerized technology.
N Shaw Associates employs state of the art technology to create film that is ready for plating. We are also working on ways to be able to take this electronic media and make it viewable through various other media such as interactive CD-ROM's and the Internet.
We will continue to mature with the electronic industry, thus giving our clients a resource that will help them with their communication needs well into the future.
From that point on, the utmost care and craftsmanship is given to your job through every stage of the production to ensure that what we deliver is what you expect. I take pride in our quality, dedicated group of professional lithographers.
