PROCESS ARCHITECTURE

Production Methods

How the physical job becomes a production route. Surface, geometry, artwork readiness, production run and intended handling define the method.

ROUTING LOGIC

The route is earned by the job.

Production selection begins with the physical conditions of the work. A method is considered only after the substrate, geometry, artwork, quantity and intended handling are understood.

Surface — Confirm the substrate or finished surface before selecting a production method.

PRODUCTION SYSTEMS

PRODUCTION EVIDENCE

The process is visible at the edge.

Production quality is assessed through physical evidence: registration, deposition or transfer behaviour, substrate response, finish and the way the completed print is expected to be handled.

PROJECT ROUTING

Start with the physical job.

Share the application, quantity, dimensions, surface or substrate, and artwork readiness. HDC will review the production route against the actual job.
