Your Account Executive will guide you and your project through every phase of production. Initially, he or she will help finalize your project specifications with you and your sales representative. Throughout the production process, your account executive will be your in-house contact, and will follow your project through to delivery.

We provide full digital imaging capabilities, with flatbed and high-resolution drum scanning as well as museum-quality camera work. The workstation features a Leica model S-1 Digital Camera with 100mm lens, mounted on a Linhof Technopro copy table illuminated with 120-volt Kaiser Softlight lamps enabling direct imaging of three-dimensional pieces that cannot be scanned using conventional methods. Our Digital Camera workstation will image directly to a digital file in the first generation, thus guaranteeing that your object will be reproduced with the least possible loss of visual information. We invite you to specify this method of imaging for projects that defy conventional scanning technologies. Please take a look at some of our earlier digital camera projects, and some oversize pieces shot for the website with the digital camera.

To obtain the faithful reproduction of fine art, photography, and manuscript facsimiles, we offer fine-screen black and white, duotone, tritone, and full-color imaging. Our color preview and image analysis station for color correction and manipulation allows for exacting adjustments. To ensure the highest level of production control, we make our own separations in-house.

We will preflight your files if your project is ready to output to film, using the latest versions of almost any page-layout software on Macintosh or PC workstations. We can accept a variety of media including floppy disks, Zip and Jaz disks, and CDs; please call or email Darlene Smith, Pre-Press Manager, with any questions about your disks. Preflight will include a check that all fonts and high-resolution images are available for printing before the job goes to film, saving you the expense of corrections later in the proofing stages.

High-resolution duotone, tritone, or halftone images will be color proofed with the DuPont Water Proofing System on the actual stock you have chosen for your project. Four-color images will be color proofed with the HP Color Proofing System. You may also choose to proof selected images on a press proof if your project requires it. For page positioning and checking imposition, a blueline proof is the final proofing stage.

Our offset pressroom is equipped with two 40-inch Heidelberg presses, printing 300-line screen resolution for duotones, tritones, and single-color work, as well as 200-line screen resolution for four-color work. With our large 28-inch by 40-inch sheet capacity, The Stinehour Press is the ideal cost-effective printer for your large posters, books, and related graphic materials.

The letterpress room runs three Heidelberg presses, and stocks a full complement of metal typefaces for hand setting. We also have complete photopolymer plate-making capability, to give your project the impression that denotes hand printing, but using computer-generated files. For further information about this specialty printing, call any sales manager.

We offer case binding, slipcasing, and, for your premium projects, specialty handbinding. Paperback binding is also available in a number of techniques, including Smyth sewing, saddle stitching, hand-sewing, and perfect binding.
