REMOTE PROOFING -- Approved On-site

The printer typically absorbs the cost of installing an output device at a client site.

Rammgraph, a Toronto-based digital photography and prepress house, has found an interesting way to use its remote proofing capabilities to strengthen customer relationships. On one level, the company uses RealTimeImage's RealTimeProof Classic product primarily for soft proofing by clients, notes Jeff Holmes, sales manager. Clients also can elect to print out those same files locally, if they choose. The interesting twist, though, is that Rammgraph has made the system available to its designer clients for their use in getting approvals at the concept stage.
