Creo Brisque Workflow
Using proven Brisque workflow with Adobe® Extreme™ technology, Creo provides the performance and flexibility of a PDF workflow, with the security and reliability of the CT and LW production file formats.

The latest generation of the Brisque shortens correction cycles and reduced costs, while reaching new heights of quality and productivity.

Established and proven
The Brisque product line of advanced workflow systems has long been the de facto industry standard, providing a complete prepress centre for output devices. Thousands of users worldwide depend on its high output predictability, superior quality and productive throughput.


A powerful workflow family
There is a Brisque workflow and option package to serve virtually any prepress need, from short-run high-speed operations to automated high-volume production; from dedicated workstations to globally distributed printing. The Brisque family comprises the Brisque Entro, Brisque Pro and Brisque Impose. All Brisque solutions, beginning with the most basic configuration, fully automate the prepress workflow through a flexible JDF process.

RIP Once workflow maximizes production
RIP Once assures file integrity, since the same RIPed data is used for all output devices (contract and imposition Proofer, Platesetter, Digital Print & Large Format Digital). As a result, the press run will match your customer-approved proof the first time around.

colour management :

Best Color & Creo Colour management.
Fretwells work with Creo Best Color, screening, and calibration tools to achieve higher print-predictability and improved colour quality, reducing inconsistencies and the need for extensive file manipulation during production.

Best colour proof
We use the leading halftone proofing system for production environments. With up to 15 input channels we have individually configured our proofing system for quality, colour simulation and output media. With the help of the UK’s leading colour specialists NCS Group Fretwells operates the highest quality closed loop colour management system available.

All presses are profiled to a standard that is monitored with leading best of breed colour software - spectrometers and densitometry at every stage of the printing process.
