About me
I’m a Print Production Specialist and Graphic Designer with hands-on experience preparing files for real-world printing.
If a printer has ever said your file isn’t print-ready, the colors won’t print correctly, or bleed is missing — that’s what I fix.
I specialize in print-ready PDFs (PDF/X-1a, PDF/X-4), Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop cleanup, CMYK and spot color conversion, vector cleanup, logo rebuilds, color correction, and large-format print prep.
My goal is simple: your file passes preflight, your printer is happy, and your project prints correctly the first time.

Jim was absolutely outstanding to work with. I brought him a fairly complex print job that required careful color correction and precise preparation for large format printing, and he understood the assignment immediately. What impressed me most was the level of care he took in preserving the integrity...
