At ColorFile VCS, it is our goal to exceed any and all expectations. This translates into
hard work, dedicated involvement and high quality equipment and techniques to deliver the
impressive results our clients have come to expect. We are firm believers that craftsmanship
must still exist in the digital domain.
FILM OUTPUT
ColorFile VCS operates one of the largest and finest multi-laser film image recorders available.
Our internal drum device operates with all the calibration the rest of our digital workflow
enjoys. Film negatives and positives can be produced for lithography and silk screen
applications.
DIGITAL PRINTING
Our digital offset solutions deliver fabulous, high intensity color press results like you would
expect from conventional press runs. For example, our HP Indigo press actually has a
color gamut greater than CMYK ink has ever seen before in print.
SHORT RUNS
Finally your print pieces can be as fresh as your content. Print only what you need. This is
a whole new way of thinking about buying print. In a fast-paced world where details
change all the time, your print project can now keep up with your world and have you looking
sharp all the way.
PRINT ON - DEMAND
Do you need materials right away? We know you do - and we do it all the time. Does your
print item smell like the warehouse it was stored in? You know what a fresh concept smells
like. Let’s make fresh!
LARGE FORMAT PRINTING
“Wow - a printing company that can produce my signage, trade show needs, large format
projects and street graphics. Incredible!” Yup, it’s true. What makes this so appealing to so
many of our clients is simple. We approach our involvements in these requests like the
quality minded printing professionals we are. Anyone who has had a project produced at a
local sign shop or chain will really appreciate how great our product looks. Your signage
will color match your print work - sounds simple, right? Well, we think it should be, too -
and we’re prepared to show you just that! Calibration is the key. We have made painstaking
equipment choices to deliver the finest results possible with each request. Resolution,
calibration and our involvements deliver smooth, crisp, color accurate products for a multitude
of requests.
POSTERS and BANNERS and MORE!
ColorFile VCS runs large format Epson equipment boasting a 200 year color fastness condition
with all the vibrancy and consistency possible from your files or ones we will help
build for you. A multitude of substrates are available. Ask your ColorFile VCS rep to guide
you in your choices.
DIGITAL PROOFING with ICC CALIBRATION
That’s it. That’s the key. ICC Calibration. We will anticipate the production print condition of
your files and images with the greatest amount of ICC color calibration possible. This
process will yield a SWOP proof that is consistent and accurate to the parameters we’ve
identified as critical for matching that result in the next step of the process. The International
Color Consortium (ICC) is a group of experts who have defined the digital color
standards for everything digital - from displays to output. Specifications for Web Offset
Printing (SWOP) represents a similar group of color experts that have worked to establish
and maintain the criteria for press room results. Web print production requires a close tolerance
for high volume printing. Sheet fed print operations often follow these SWOP guidelines
and will modify them to accommodate their internal conditions. When appropriate, a
color house, like ColorFile VCS, can “fingerprint” a specific calibration requirement to an
external or specific benchmark. This is useful in the example of files and runs to be done
locally or for targeting, then disseminated globally for rollout production.
DESIGN SUPPORT
ColorFile VCS is fully prepared to work with your supplied files. Our staff is highly knowledgeable
in all disciplines of graphic preparation and can make changes or repairs as they
become necessary.
PHOTOGRAPHY
Images that need to be captured can be done with our talents. Our digital and film camera
artists can come to you location or provide studio set-ups inside of our plant as your needs
require.
DRUM or FLATBED SCANNING
Artwork that needs to be digitized will be handled with the skills of color separation specialists
who cut their teeth back in the days of process cameras and panchromatic films.
IMAGE MANIPULATION and ASSEMBLY
Once files exist, changes and alterations may be required. Our team of image professionals
can handle everything from text edits and formatting to photo-montages and high fashion
retouching. After all tweaks are made, your files will be arranged in press impositions
to go to one of our many print devices.
ONE-TO-ONE MARKETING
Ooooh! Data-mining. Hot topic. Let’s print your project with personalization. Statistics show
that the deeper the involvement of the personalized interest, the greater the return on the
investment of reaching your audience and pushing out sales. There is a whole strategy to
pushing out sales with one-to-one marketing. Our personalized print process is the start.
Speak with one of our marketing specialists to design a campaign that has your sales
graph looking like it should!
PRE-PRODUCTION RUNS & PROTOTYPES
Packaging prototypes and other comps can be brought to life with all the brilliance of
the final product, but in a careful, controlled and impactful method that allows proper
analysis for focus groups or to introduce new products for trade shows, conventions and
sales seminars.
PRESS PROOFS
Will you be sending an ad to publication? ColorFile VCS can produce a “halftone” print of
your ad in full 4/C/P and a progressive press proof. Did you ever get your tearsheet back
from the “pub” and wonder where it went wrong? Don’t let that happen again. Allow ColorFile VCS to pull a press proof and send a set to your publisher and pull a proof for you to
keep to compare, the day that tearsheet comes back to you.You’ll be glad you did.
LAMINATION
Large format pieces as well as short and medium run press runs can be film laminated
with one of our many in-house hot or cold solutions. Gloss and satin, textured and smooth
and everything in-between is possible.
MOUNTING and MATTING and FRAMING!
Anything we print can be mounted to a substrate of your choosing. Custom shapes can be
included to create the finished piece you’re thinking of...! We can even mat and frame your
art for home or office - no, really!
TRADE SHOWS and CONVENTIONS and EXPOSITIONS!
Here’s that argument for calibration, again! Who wants to be disappointed at all, but especially
when a conference or trade show sneaks up on your schedule. No worries! We can
produce your campaign for your next show or event. Our involvements can be as simple as
fresh panels for your system or a full blown event condition that delivers everything from
table tents to the gear to hang your panels on. While our printed work will be custom to
your needs, the hardware or gear can be rented for events as you require. Why not consider
to have your graphics illuminate! Don’t forget to include a one-to-one marketing piece
to follow up with show attendees.
CONVENTION FOLLOW-UP
How much did your firm spend to be at that trade show? Well, we’ll bet it’s a lot more than
you would spend on anything else without a proper R.O.I. analysis. Let’s improve the return
on that event. Use the card swipe feature of attendees to your booth to do your datamining,
then let ColorFile VCS merge that data into a meaningful campaign that turns those“visits” into sales!
AdLux® ILLUMINATED PANELS
We’re not talking about spotlights or downlights (we do that, too!). AdLux involves the integration
of L.E.D. or electroluminescent lamping panels to embellish your product, theme or
in-store promotion. These lamping choices will be built into your graphic panels as best
suited to deliver impact to your needs. We can do onesy-twosy’s or hundreds or thousands.
Ask your rep to describe the possibilities!
STREET GRAPHICS
Need a vehicle wrapped - how ‘bout your fleet?... ColorFile VCS can design a campaign
that will turn heads and drive interest. Our installers will install at our indoor facility or come
to your location.
DELIVERY

there in time. ColorFile VCS operates its own vehicles or can dovetail a project with scheduled
delivery through private, common or postal carriers. Electronic, domestic and international
