2. Design and production. According to the printing plan, article writing, design, layout planning, etc. It is a preliminary operating procedure for making a draft. At the same time, it is necessary to arrange photography and illustration drawing, coordinate the trip between workshops with manufacturers, and concretize various elements.

4. Production and plate making.

Please fill in the operation sheet or manual in detail, and clearly indicate the number of output lines, the number of pages in color and monochrome, whether there is text, specifications and quantity. , to avoid communication errors and unnecessary harm.

5. Proofread homework. This is the last step before printing, that is, to check whether the color proofing conforms to the procedures indicated in the draft.
