Remote Proofing--Satellite Collaboration

For example, Polaroid's Betty LaBaugh reports that a new Polaroid proofer, to be launched at DRUPA 2000 next month, will be prime for remote proofing. The new PolaProof—a two-up, digital halftone proofing system, will be the first in a new generation of products using PolaProof technology.

The two-up halftone proofing system has been developed using the company's Laser Ablation transfer technology and is aimed at a wide variety of users, including commercial printers, repro houses, publishers and corporate accounts. The automatic, digital halftone proofing system will provide sharp and dry digital color proofs imaged at resolutions of 2,540 dpi or 2,400 dpi, and up to 400 lpi.
