North Star Capabilities
At Northstar Printing, the backbone of our technology innovation is the Prinect workflow software which enables communication between all the equipment in our facility. Preset information is sent electronically to all the equipment in the plant, dramatically reducing make ready time. This typically results in being press-check ready on the first pull, with less waste, quicker turnaround and overall lower cost of job completion. But the news keeps getting better…
Samples of your job continue to be analyzed and minor changes made as the system improves quality. At each stage of the process the system learns more about your job, communicating, and centrally storing this information. The final stored information can be used for re-orders, ensuring consistent quality and faster turnaround times.
Best of all, this integrated system provides real time visibility to our scheduling team, allowing them to quickly respond to your ongoing printing needs. Rest assured, at North Star Printing our goal is superior quality, on time and on budget. That is the North Star Printing difference.
North Star Will Make Your Color Pop
G7 Color Certified Master Printer
Have you ever placed your marketing collateral close to your packaging and signage with the same brand imagery, only to find the colors simply don’t match?
At North Star Printing, we regularly invest in maintaining a G7 qualified status. What is G7? It is a process to calibrate printing equipment to provide the highest possible color match with less preparation and waste. This process also provides proof to press color consistency.
The G7 Master certification is a mark of industry leading quality. We understand that you want your printed product to look the same regardless of what press or even what company prints it. G7 assures consistent and repeatable colors and images from proof to press, press to press and even facility to facility.
