Remote Proofing is Outtasight

Lord—Hard or soft remote proofing involves much more than placing a standard proofer at a remote site and downloading files and color profiles to it. Because proofs set key customer expectations for color and print quality, they must accurately emulate the printed piece. The key challenge with remote proofing is to provide absolute assurance that the proof viewed was generated on calibrated equipment without operator errors or date mixups. Surveys show that the most common cause of bad proofs are operator errors, such as using the wrong profile or loading the wrong type of media.
