Color Proofing--Bantering Beyond The Black & White

"Truth be told, if you have the color right to start with, you don't really need that much in the way of color management," reports Polaroid's Ed Riggs, a member of the GRACoL committee.

"Color management may not be digital proofing's big issue, as much as is getting the dot right," the Polaroid proofing expert continues. "You want to have a sharp dot going into a CTP workflow, with not too much dot gain, optical gain or mechanical gain. I could go on —but that's another story."
