REMOTE PROOFING -- Approved On-site

The bulk of the work is five-over-four color (tint and spot) jobs with some color photos, Buczek says. For the pieces with color photos, a Kodak Approval digital color proof is sent out for the first round of proofing, he adds. Soft proofing then is often used for any subsequent rounds of approval, as well as for jobs that use PANTONE colors, reprint work and time-sensitive jobs, he explains.
