Origination
Equipped and skilled to handle all front end reproduction processes and finished art for the lithographic print operation, in conjunction with being comfortable in receiving and manipulating the majority of industry-standard layout application documents; we are geared to generating all reprographic material, including relief flat bed scanning, typesetting, page layout and high-end proofing through to the latest computer to plate output equipment and imaging technologies. The addition of an industry leading electronic workflow has the benefit of improved file processing, preflighting quality checks, online proofing and workflow automation.

CONTENT CONVERSION

Analogue to Digital Conversion
The high speed document scanner allows for hardcopies of printed material to be scanned to final PDF format or to an editable Word document through optical character recognition. This is especially valuable when origination material is untraceable and all you have is hardcopy.

Translation
Creda also offers a translation service, taking contents from English into a host of languages and translating from other languages into English.

Typesetting
Using our powerful content manipulation and formatting system we generate final layout and print ready documents from supplied hardcopy, electronic manuscripts and client databases. Our speciality in this area is handling huge volumes of text and data in producing directories, dictionaries and journals with embedded footnotes, indexing and referencing included. The benefit to the client is exact repeatability of the project style and formatting with updated information performed on the original source documents and databases, therefore saving a vast amount of time and cost in recreating entire projects.

Proofreading
We offer a team of readers with over 100 years of combined experience in the industry. In addition to checking spelling, grammar and punctuation, they are focussed on confirming that line-ups, back-ups, live area uniformity, indents, margins and numerous other print layout criteria is met; thus offering customers even more peace of mind before going to print.
