The 50% Speed Advantage Almost No One Talks About
When your designer sends a 200 MB InDesign file with fonts missing and images in RGB, most printers send it back. Lebone Litho fixes it right away. DTP printing services make sure layouts are perfect, down to the pixel, and work with our Heidelberg and Manroland presses, cutting setup time by 30–50%.
Our DTP operators are trained on the Heidelberg Prinect workflow, so we correct, arrange and output CTP plates at 2,540 dpi while others are still sending emails.
The outcome: jobs that usually take 5–7 days are completed in 2–3 days, faster than other printers in Johannesburg.
How We Reduce Reprints Significantly
Printing SA data shows the national average reprint rate is still 8 –12% due to pre-press mistakes. Lebone’s locked-down colour control and PDF/X-4 setup has dropped our reprint rate below 1% for three years straight — saving clients serious cash.
By making pre-press smoother, we cut waste, which is important as SA’s litho printing sector plans for lasting growth through 2026.

Pair it with bindery services for savings from start to finish, making Lebone Litho the top choice for budget-smart companies “near me”.
