1. Graphics chain

The graphic chain is a process (series of steps) that leads to the creation of a printed product through :

• graphic design ;

• production of originals (texts and images);

• production of printing forms ;

• printing on a press (conventional or digital).

  • 1 ^re stage: mock-up (to validate the project).

    This is followed by the creation of files and the processing of graphic data to obtain the printed forms.

  • Step 2: Contract proof (to validate an element as close as possible to the printed product).

    Finally, the press runs through to production of the finished printed product.
