REMOTE PROOFING -- Approved On-site

"Designers send us PDFs of their concepts and we post them to our server," Holmes explains. "A designer's clients can then log on to the system to review the concepts."

According to Holmes, RealTimeProof's big advantage is that clients actually view the RIPed file that is going to be used to generate film, he says. The technology also gives clients the option to print files from the server to output devices at their locations, Holmes points out.
