The second half of 2006 has seen quite a bit of turmoil in the catalog printing industry. Many of our larger publicly held competitors have shut down plants and reduced capacity recently after poor financial performance. At privately held Catalogs America we have continued on a course of controlled, long term growth while working to be the most customer responsive printer in the marketplace. Our 2005 expansion has added 20% more overall capacity to our business plan; allowing us to grow a little more in '07. In August 2006 we added an off line PolyPak program to help educational publishers take better economic advantage of USPS distribution opportunities.

Catalogs America now offers on-line soft proofing with Synapseo® Insite. Read more about the benefits of this new service.

Postscript vs. Application Files
 
Postscript vs. Application Files
The design of any catalog originates with application files. There are different platforms, page-layout programs, software versions... and let's not forget those pesky fonts. Catalogs America welcomes many different file versions, but PDFs (Portable Document Format) are leading the way. Set-up to our specifications, your PDF files can save file transfer space, minimize potential pre-press problems and save you money. Adobe® Acrobat® can be customized to our preferred settings to produce postscript files that will flow seamlessly through our pre-press department and on to the press with accuracy and efficiency. Your files will look exactly as you intended - with layout, fonts, links, and images intact. Also, supplying PDFs is now more cost-effective than ever. Ask your Catalogs America salesperson for information about providing PDFs.
