Established in 1997, and recently celebrating their 20th birthday, Digital Distributors are leaders in the Graphics and Colour Management, and Printing Solutions Market in South Africa.
As the authority on color management, Digital Distributors offers highly specialized colour management consulting, colour management software as well as numerous printing solutions and consumables to the pre-press, press, graphic and fine arts industries. Press optimization and ink savings to improve on your workflow are also available.
Digital Distributors developed the Seven Steps to Reliable, Predictable Print to make it easier for print customers to satisfy their clients. Although the Seven Steps can generally be separated into pre-press and print parts, with the hardcopy proof being the link, many of these steps can exist in Design, Pre Press and Print Stages.
According to John Panton, MD of Digital Distributors, standardization is crucial for reliable, predictable print in the production environment. “By implementing the products and methods recommended in our Seven Steps, a seamless integration in accordance with the relevant ISO standards can be achieved. This results in improved printability, shorter make-ready times, better match to colour proofs, improved quality and even ink saving of up to 30%.”
