WHAT IS THE AD WORKS?

     The Ad Works is a PC based service bureau serving your prepress needs. We are an approved imaging center of Adobe Systems Inc., Corel Corporation, Macromedia and Quark Inc. for output of files created with their programs.

      By working on the PC platform we are able to image your files directly from the program in which they were created. This allows you to concentrate on the design and impact of your project without compromises required when dealing with a Macintosh based service bureau. We have a large growing number of both Truetype and Postscript fonts and are able to work with either format.

      The AD Works is part of a growing network of print shops, graphic artists, desktop publishers, copy writers, photographers, illustrators and agencies who can be called upon to assist you in your project.
