Artwork and figures, ready for print.

We correct how figures look and leave the data as supplied. You get a before-and-after proof to check.

What we do

RGB to CMYK prepress

Colour, resolution, bleed and fonts prepared for your printer's requirements.

Vector redraws

Charts, flowcharts and maps redrawn from a rough source as layered vector files.

Graphical abstracts
