Magazine printing process
1. Do pre-press graphic design, writing, typesetting, etc. on the computer.
2. Make a sample, and print all of the plates. There is digital proofing, which means printing proofs with a printer, as well as traditional proofing. For example, if magazines are printed by offset printing, use an offset proofing machine for proofing.
3. Proof-read the proofs again, and make a plate after it is correct. There are traditional manual printing plates, and CTP direct plate making.
4. Once the plate is made, it will be printed on the machine, and the colors will be printed according to the proofing just now.
5. The last is binding, cutting finished products and so on.
