What We Do
It’s All In The Prep!
Prepress
@MIGU our experienced prepress department ensures your design files are ready for print production and transforms them direct to plate for offset printing or processes for output on our digital presses. The proof is in the prepping!
Prepress is a critical phase in the printing process that involves preparing digital files and materials for print. This stage includes tasks such as proofing, color correction, image editing, or other alterations and ultimately creating printing plates. Prepress ensures that all elements of the print job are correctly formatted and optimized for the chosen printing method and layout.

Catch A Wave Of Color!
Offset Printing
@MIGU we offer the expertise of skilled craftsmen in the art of print. We run a variety of inks and coatings on our 40″ sheet-fed presses and print on an assortment of substrates. Let’s make a splash together!
Offset printing is a widely used printing technique where the inked image is transferred (or “offset”) from a plate to a rubber blanket, then to the printing surface. This method is popular for producing high-quality, consistent prints at high volumes, making it ideal for magazines, brochures, and other mass-produced materials.
We have a 28” x 40” Heidelberg CX-102 Six-color plus Aqueous coater, with Axis Control Color System, and we can print on board up to 40pt.
