Definition: The word 'prepress' refers to the process where a piece or product undergoes physical shaping, preparation, or processing before it reaches your table for consumption. In the context of making art or writing, this could mean altering text, removing rough edges, or adjusting color and texture. The word is used in biblical contexts to describe a process by which a tool, like a saw, removes material from wood before it becomes usable. It also implies a methodical approach to shaping objects for creation or display.
