For proof of our wholistic customer focus philosophy, you need look no further than our comprehensive suite of services. All the equipment and expertise we need to create and reproduce your message resides in our modern, air conditioned premises. This makes for matchless quality control and turnaround times that our competitors may promise but simply can’t deliver.

Offset

Whether you need a single colour leaflet or a full colour magazine, our skilled staff and state-of-the-art equipment ensure you receive a product of the highest quality in the shortest possible time. We boast the latest in Heidelberg technology presses and are adept at making the most of their speed, versatility and reliability. Equipped with the best tools in the business, our enthusiastic staff take pride in exceeding customer expectations in every job.

Digital Printing

With one of the largest production plants in Australia, our multiple digital printers mean we can meet even your tightest deadline. All units are driven by high-speed computers that guarantee your files are processed quickly, efficiently and without error. We offer black and white and colour printing from hard copy or electronic files.

Features of this service include:
• Universal PDF Workflow

• National and international printing networks
• Variable data printing

By running our plant 24-hours a day, we’re perfectly placed to accommodate even your most urgent job.

Prepress

Getting your documents ready for print quickly and without production problems is the essence of our Prepress Department. Our seasoned staff are expert in doing whatever it takes to prepare your files – from setup, imposition, scanning and pre-flighting to plate making and multiple proofing options.

As is the case throughout our entire business, we use the latest equipment, including AGFA computer-to-plate technology and digital proofing systems.

Bindery

There’s no point printing a job perfectly and then compromising the whole project by outsourcing the finishing. We keep absolute control of deadlines and quality by finishing all jobs in-house in our comprehensive Bindery Department.

Our professional and heavy duty finishing systems include:
• Perfect binding.
• Saddle stitching.
• Drilling
• Wiro binding.
• Thermal binding.
• Plastikoiling.
• Binder insertion.

Extensive training, cutting edge machinery, a safe and spotless work environment and low staff turnover mean our people are highly efficient and alert to quality in all these finishing options.

Document Management

To truly print ‘on demand’, your documents need to be stored in a managed database ready for use at a moment’s notice. Our Document Management System (DMS) makes this easy, whether your documents are in electronic or hard copy form. Secure and intelligent, DMS storage and retrieval enables us to:
• Prepare files for black and white or colour printing.
• Convert files to PDF.
• Proof, store, retrieve and track unlimited documents.
• Control multiple document versions.
• Tailor a complete document management solution to your needs.

Apart from the obvious benefits of speed, accuracy and cost effectiveness, DMS frees you to concentrate on your core duties. Simply tell us which document you want printed from DMS and we’ll do the rest.

Graphic Design

Our experienced designers delight in delivering optimum results on time and within budget. From corporate branding to the design of marketing materials and annual reports, we give your print collateral the competitive edge you need. Because everything we do is under one roof, there are no problems coordinating artwork and prepress output. Our seamless integration of design, prepress and print production means your job runs smoothly from concept to delivery – saving time and money.

CD Production

We have true on-demand CD-ROM production capability completely in-house. Our technical staff can quickly convert your conventional print projects into a user friendly CD-ROM version. Given that one CD-ROM holds much data as 450 floppy disks (up to 300,000 pages of text) the savings you can achieve in paper, distribution and storage costs are substantial.
Once the CD-ROM master is complete, we can:
• Duplicate CDs in exact quantities on demand.
• Design and print the CD surface, inserts and accompanying booklets.
• Package the CDs ready for distribution.

Facilities Management

If you regularly require confidential or same-day printing or have existing print facilities onsite, we can optimise your print operations and free you to concentrate on your core activities. Using your staff and equipment or ours, we can provide as much or as little support as you need – from simple ‘help desk’ advice to a DPA-owned and run print room installed on your premises.

Outsourcing of print activities has become common because it makes good business sense to use specialists in an increasingly complex field. DPA has become an expert in setting up tailored onsite print solutions in all configurations. Having us manage your in-house print operations also provides the ultimate in backup, with our state-of-the-art manufacturing plant either close by or instantly accessible online.

Information Technology

No longer just a value-added service, IT is now an integral part of print production. As an industry pioneer, we’ve always taken our IT infrastructure very seriously by investing in ‘best-of-breed’ technologies. Our systems, hardware and software combine to give you comprehensive IT support and minimal costs and turnaround times.

Our IT infrastructure includes:
• Full time staff dedicated to troubleshooting, system optimisation and the research and implementation of emerging technologies to give your business the edge.
• Full computer room facilities with dedicated power and air conditioning, failsafe data storage and emergency backup systems.
• Secure firewall isolated gigabit network with 6Mb internet connection.
