About

Do you find yourself getting frustrated when you prepare your digital files for press? Dreading the call from your print vendor claiming your files aren't ready for prime time? Or worse, their invoice lines out extra charges for tweaking those files in their prepress department.

DesignHacker hopes to change your outlook and help you deliver clean files that any preflight tech will love.

My goal is to be your source for tips and information on how to design and create print-ready digital files with confidence. Say goodbye to extra file prep charges and hello to art that prints right, the way you want, the first time.

My name is Andrew and I've been working as a production artist and prepress tech for nearly 20 years. During that time, I've worked in both commercial print shops and graphic design studios.

My tools include Macintosh computers with the accepted software standards of Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, Indesign as well as the PDF suite of Acrobat and Distiller.

Please visit my Preflight Services page for more information about how I can help you get your projects through the prepress process as problem-free as possible.
