Hartman advises any commercial printing firm interested in digital halftone proofing to research the market and select a digital halftone proofer that wins its confidence based on technical merits and performance.

"You have to really believe in the equipment you're using, especially in a direct-to-plate environment," Hartman advises. "There is no room for errors, big or small, in digital proofing."
