FAQs

Prepress software automates the critical steps between design and print—file preparation, color management, proofing, imposition, and plate creation. It ensures your artwork is print-ready, catches errors before they hit the press, and streamlines approvals, so you avoid costly reprints and delays.

Advanced inspection systems can detect:

  • Text changes
  • Missing graphics
  • Color shifts
  • Barcode issues
  • Misregistrations
  • Pantone mismatches
  • Braille height non-compliance issues

They compare your press-ready files to customer-approved artwork, ensuring nothing has changed before production begins.

Packaging prepress involves additional complexity—like stepped files for maximizing material use, regulatory checks (barcodes, braille), and multi-component jobs (labels, cartons, inserts). Specialized software ensures every element is accurate and compliant before production.

GlobalVision’s print inspection system supports:

  • label inspection
  • box inspection
  • packaging inspection
  • folding carton
  • flexographic
  • digital print quality
  • screen print quality
  • lithographic print
  • corrugated box
  • offset print
  • gravure print

With Verify, you can automate the following checks in your digital prepress workflow:

  • Text and artwork verification (detects changes or errors in content and graphics)
  • Barcode and QR code inspection (checks readability and grading)
  • Spell check (including multi-language support)
  • Braille inspection (verifies presence and accuracy)
  • Alignment checks near bleeds and trims
  • OCR detection and inspection (for scanned or image-based text)
