LAB SUPPORT
The key to comprehensive quality control is the use of our in-house laboratory. Having an state-of-the-art testing lab is absolutely necessary to manufacture superior sheetfed products. Pertech's in-house laboratory is a primary component to achieve our mission of maintaining strict control over every aspect of manufactured quality and is an integral piece of our success. Our testing lab allows for timely, accurate, cost-effective testing that ensures every product, from raw material to finished goods, meets all of our quality requirements.
State-of-the-art digital color matching hardware and software, color assessment booths and impressive florescent room lighting are just a few of the measures we have taken to ensure that every batch of every ingredient we process is calculated and tested for color identity and purity before being allowed to be distributed to stock our warehouse or shipped out to our customers. Some of our products are tested again after the mixing phase of manufacturing to ensure a homogeneous mix of ingredients has been obtained. Then, the finished product is tested and proofed again before being released for sale. Such stringent attention to quality control is extremely difficult to accomplish without our testing laboratory.

WORKFLOW SUPPORT
Workflow has become a critical issue to the profitable production of print. Craft oriented operations such as prepress have become completely digital and rely on high speed networks, sophisticated desktop applications, a myriad array of servers, rips, digital proofing and output technologies. Digital technologies are also profoundly affecting the printing technologies themselves. Additionally, the pressmen and many clients also live with the rising issues of problematic workflows.Helping with the challenges of creating a predictable and efficient workflow producing successful results, Pertech’s approach is to work with our clients to establish fundamental practices in the production of print. Working with existing resources, we have trained IT staff of system administrators to approach system optimization and consistency to maximize the results produced by your workflow.
