title = "Pre-Press File Preparation and Validation"

content = """
Pre-press validation ensures that customer-supplied artwork meets technical
requirements before production. Rejected or incorrect files cause delays, rework,
and customer dissatisfaction.

**File Format Requirements:** Accept PDF/X-1a or PDF/X-4 for print. Ensure fonts
are embedded, images are high resolution (minimum 300 dpi at final size), and
color space is CMYK or spot. Reject RGB-only files for conventional print.

**Bleed and Trim:** Artwork must include 3–5 mm bleed beyond trim. Crop marks
and safe zones for text and critical elements must be observed. Verify imposition
matches the finished product dimensions.

**Color Verification:** Confirm color profiles match the production process. Check
for spot color definitions and ensure they are specified correctly. Flag files
with out-of-gamut colors that may not reproduce as intended.

**Imposition:** For multi-page products (books, brochures), imposition must match
the binding method (saddle stitch, perfect bind, etc.) and press sheet size.
Errors here cause costly reprints.

**Communication:** When files fail validation, provide clear, specific feedback to
the customer or design team. Include file name, page/section, and required
correction. Document all pre-press interactions.
