Race and Event Printing Services

Race and event printing should be simple, accurate, and on time. Grafix Media produces race bibs, bike plates, finish line ribbon, flags, stickers, and route signs in-house for events across Canada. Our Adobe preflight and proofing workflow reduces errors, so your race materials arrive ready to use.

Our Unique Strength

Grafix Media uses a professional-quality preflight workflow that very few print shops in Calgary or Canada offer. This ensures that what the customer expects is exactly what gets printed.

1. File Intake

The client uploads or emails their artwork file.

2. Adobe Preflight Scan

We run a full preflight using Adobe Acrobat’s Preflight Engine. We check for:

• Missing fonts

• Low-resolution images

• Incorrect colour spaces (RGB instead of CMYK)

• Transparencies

• Overprint issues

• Bleeds

• Incorrect trim size

• Hidden layers

• Spot colour mismatches

• PDF/X compliance

3. Preflight Report Sent to Client

If any issues exist, we send a detailed preflight report outlining:

• What was detected

• Why it may cause a problem

• What needs to be corrected

• Whether we can fix it or if the client should fix it

4. Digital Proof Process

After corrections, we send the client a proof for approval. The client confirms:

• Size

• Layout

• Colours

• Trim

• DPI

• Final positioning

5. Production (3–5 Business Days)

After approval, the job moves to production. This workflow prevents:

• Mistakes

• Reprints

• Misalignment

• Disappointment

• Delays

This process is one of Grafix Media’s strongest competitive advantages and should be highlighted on every major product category.
