Print files causing you and your client headaches?
I got you.
We Launch Mid 2026
Bleed set up wrong. Separations not checked. Dielines that won't cut properly. Most designers send files to print with zero idea what's about to happen and your clients might be the the ones paying for reprints but you’ll pay for it with a ruined reputation sooner or later.
The Prepress Playbook is a live workshop from a former pre-press operator of 10 years. One session. You'll leave knowing exactly how to set up print-ready files properly - dielines, special finishes, knockouts, overprints, correct colour profiling and how to actually communicate with your printer to get the info you really need before you start.
What you'll walk away knowing
How to read and work with any print supplier's spec guide
Dieline setup that actually cuts where it's supposed to
Special finishes - foil, spot UV, emboss etc and how to set up correctly from the start
Knockouts vs overprints, what they are and when to use each
Colour profiling, why that matters, how it works on press, avoiding ink limits and avoiding the “that wasn’t the colour i approved” drama
How to understand a print supplier spec sheet.
Live Q&A session to end, bring any questions you want.
“I used to think these skills I learnt were boring af, and I begrudged them early on in my career. Boy, how wrong was I.
They’ve opened more doors than I ever could have imagined.”
