The company is one of the first which implemented the print technology “Computer to Plate”, eliminating the process of filmsetting. The quality of this type of printing is much higher and the possibilities for color control – much bigger.
The company has equipment for digital offset printing available for shorter releases and color probes. Dedrax owns Bulgaria’s sole digital machine for full-color two-sided print with printing size of the materials to up to 47.5/1100 mm with a roll width of 500 mm.

Since the beginning of 2007 Dedrax Ltd developed a new segment in the offset printing, oriented to the personalized and secret information. Known as „security printing”, this segment allows the production of large series of cards or other type of materials with varying data whereat using specialized equipment, the secret information is simultaneously printed and covered. As of now the service is not available here and all similar printing materials are produced abroad.

Dedrax Ltd has its own filmsetting studio as well as other pre-print services. During the last years the equipment available is continuously upgraded as of 31.08.2007 it facilitates three filmsetting machines covering the entire range of polygraph formats. All machines are produced by the world leader Linotype-Hell/Heidelberg. The studio is equipped with the necessary high quality equipment for a full cycle of pre-print services including scanning and text editing, pre-print, color probes, filmsetting, color laser print and wide format print.

The pre-print studio at the print house offers the full range of standard pre-print services as well as specialized services as digital color probes, which are significantly cheaper than the cromalin probes and have the advantage of shorter production periods and maximum precision of the details and colors. Those probes are made on a wide-format printer Epson Stylus Pro 7500, which is ideal for manufacturing of small-circulation and individual posters, newssheets, stickers, personalization of materials etc.

The print house is equipped with Heidelberg and Man Roland offset machines, which are calibrated to the digital exposition machine, the printer for digital probes and the monitors at the pre-print stations, which guaranties the conformity of the color values at each work stage. The control of the colors is guarantied further by the usage of a specter-density meter.
