CTP--New Tools, Old Theories

For the do-it-yourselfer, there are two options. The "thrifty" do-it-yourselfer can simply buy the check lists, books and registry documentation, and prepare for the audit themselves. The estimated price for this option, with audit, is between $1,000 and $2,500.

The "thorough" do-it-yourselfer will need to buy the described materials, as well as attend two workshops: one on color management and another on training and testing in quality control and documentation procedures—procedures that are essential to ensure consistency in the process and that will prepare the company for the registry certification process. The estimated price for this option is between $3,000 and $5,000.
