Step 3

Preflight

Color, bleed, cut lines, resolution and fonts checked the way a print shop checks them.

About

Designer by trade, press operator by habit.

I'm Mario, the designer behind Makeready Studios. I've spent years in print production, so I design with the press in mind: real bleeds, real color, real materials. That's why my files go to the printer once.

"Makeready" is the press setup before a run. It's the careful part nobody sees, and it's what makes the job come out right.
