The term prepress includes all the steps that are required to transform an original into a state that is ready for production by printing. At the JMBR facility, we have the CTP system for plate making through which we spend significantly less time on prepress. This system eliminates the creation of negatives which was used by the CTF technology. Further it enhances sharpness and detail as an intermediary process is eliminated. This technology gives us the flexibility to reduce production time, increase the output quality and reduce cost.

Offset printing is any form of printing that uses an intermediate carrier to transfer the image from the original image-carrier (such as a plate) to the substrate. With regular state-of-the-art upgrades to its offset presses, JMBR Group uses this technology in the production of booklets, magazines, posters, boxes and other advertising materials printing. Our offset printing capability ranges up to the maximum size of 100×70 cm, 8 colour printing + varnish and thickness of 1.25mm.

Gravure printing is a type of intaglio printing method which utilizes engraved cylinders or cylinder-mounted plates as the image carriers. The image areas are etched onto the surface of the cylinder as a collection of tiny cells. The paper (or other substrate) is passed between the gravure cylinder and a rubber coated impression roller, and ink is transferred by a combination of capillary action and the pressing of the substrate onto the engraved cells of the cylinder. We use this technology in the printing of magazines, postcards, greeting cards and other products that require such type of specialty printing.
