Beaux-Arts, Institut d'arts visuels (ESAD): our team of graphic designers transcribes the briefs so that the ideas take shape and carry your messages through a myriad of colours.
Paper or digital, we create your visuals to fit the media you choose.
We have been active in this sector for many years and have put in place the appropriate tools to simplify your organisation: digital asset management software (DAM), editorial database, layout tools, data structuring in XML, etc.
The combination of our computer expertise and photo-engraving know-how enables us to produce high quality catalogues.
As a publishing and communications professional, you know how tricky PDF files can be to work with. They are often not generated as expected or do not produce the desired result. Quadrilaser has developed services to simplify the management of your graphic resources:
We correct and optimise files for all types of printing, sheet-fed offset, web, gravure, digital, according to the standards and characteristics of the printing systems...
Thanks to the powerful GMG Color Server conversion tool, we can convert standard colour spaces. This means that your files can be printed anywhere in the world according to the standards in force in the various regions (Asia, America, Europe, etc.).
Input profile, output profile, colour spaces must be used correctly according to their source and destination: screens, offset printing, gravure, type of paper, etc. To leave nothing to chance, Quadrilaser relies on its colour management expertise and professional tools to guarantee the best result.
We rely in particular on the GMG Colorserver tool:
GMG ColorServer is an intelligent solution for the efficient conversion of color spaces from one standard to another. It enables simple, fast, economical and universally accessible data optimization for all printing processes. PDF files or pixel data are automatically separated, converted or reseparated. GMG's DeviceLink approach avoids classic limitations, such as those that exist with ICC. In addition, the resolution is adjusted and the sharpness is processed according to the output. This product enables you to face the future challenges - the transition from a craft to industrialization and automation of processes.
Thanks to a proven PDF production and verification chain, Quadrilaser can ensure that your files are perfectly standardised for printing. This guarantees quality, time and cost savings for your printing. Our production chain is based on a Helios workflow coupled with the Enfocus Pitstop tool. We make corrections according to the standards and characteristics of the printing systems.
You often have old Xpress sources. New systems do not always allow you to recover these sources in good conditions. Quadrilaser can perform a raw conversion of the file to provide you with the latest generation of Indesign and, if necessary, adapt the page layout. This way you can recover sources that will enable you to keep your publication capital.
In order to optimise costs, it can be interesting to manage mutlilingual versions in black only, which means that only the black plate needs to be changed at the time of printing. Quadrilaser checks, corrects and even blacks out texts that change language. A significant source of savings.

Managing the growing volume of digital content in today's world is a challenge. Finding the right files, distributing them and ensuring their security can be complex.
"Digital Asset Management" is there to help you.
A good digital asset management solution coupled with an organisation's processes are two important initiatives. With this solution in place, an organisation can easily organise, find and share its digital content. They need digital asset management for a multitude of reasons. Some archive valuable photos or documents for later retrieval or sale, and others to share digital content with internal and external sources. For departments that produce creative documents, the ability to provide workflow approval throughout the process is invaluable.
Quadrilaser chose the Cumulus tool, a robust yet flexible software with deep metadata and taxonomy capabilities that allow our clients to efficiently find and distribute their digital content.
Cumulus is the organiser of valuable digital content throughout its lifecycle. It orchestrates different digital files into a coherent whole, while allowing users to access and distribute their digital content. With Cumulus, users can collaborate to produce assets such as images, documents and videos both internally and externally. By immediately locating files, Cumulus increases productivity and reduces downtime.
