Digital Workflow -- Tools for the Trade

"Many in the printing industry have the same goal of ink on paper, but the devil is in the details. If some of the tasks, especially preflighting, page preparation, file organization and proofing can be automated—while at the same time specifying 'shop standards'—overall internal processes and interaction with customers can be more cost-effective," Glover states. "The tools are available to accomplish many of these tasks, while maintaining or (usually) improving the quality of product internally for the printer and externally for the customer. Many of these tools have very quick ROIs if evaluation and project execution are well thought out."
