REMOTE PROOFING -- Approved On-site

In Lehigh's workflow, the JPEG image for proofing is rendered from the RIPed job file, either on a Prinergy or RAMpage front-end, Roberts says. If the job is approved, the same locked file that made the JPEG is sent to a CreoScitex platesetter.

Hard and Fast
Quebecor World Petty in Effingham, IL, primarily uses hardcopy-based remote proofing, according to Eric Hall, system administrator. The direct mail printer uses the RIP once, output many (ROOM) capability of its RAMpage RIP to generate the files that are sent to clients. Group Logic's MassTransit file transfer and remote printing software helps facilitate the workflow.
