If you care to click on my username you'll find my blog regarding pre-press, printing and implementing ISO for graphic design and print. Other than that I welcome you to read my article on Smashing Magazine '10 Pre-Press Tips For Perfect Print Publishing' http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2009/10/27/10-pre-press-tips... Cheers.
