REMOTE PROOFING -- Approved On-site

Holden originally tried e-mailing straight PDF files for soft proofing, but customers had a hard time using the Adobe Acrobat tools for marking up the proofs. The group has since standardized on Group Logic's Imagexpo soft proofing solution.

"The tools in Imagexpo for marking up proofs are very easy to use," the prepress manager reports, "and using it for soft proofing reduces mistakes due to miscommunication. Sometimes when you get a faxed proof from a client you can't make out parts of job, or the person's handwriting is hard to read. With Imagexpo, any changes are clearly marked and comments are added as text so they're easy to read."
