Remote Proofing is Outtasight

Sweeney—Remote proofing could be either hard or soft proof, where the output, or display, is at a remote location. Online collaborative proofing refers to any system where mark-up, or annotation or sign-off is done remotely. Typically soft-proofing based, there are remote collaboration systems where a hard proof is printed, marked-up in traditional manner (Sharpie pen), scanned, and a PDF of the mark-up transmitted—typically via email. Monitor contract proofing is color accurate. The system includes color management software, as well as a colorimeter or spectrophotometer for monitor profiling and calibration.
