Soft Proofing — Virtually a Lock

Research on “running to the numbers” will also be incorporated into SWOP’s actions in the soft proofing arena.

Further evidence of soft proofing’s suitability for critical color review has been coming from the Color Proofing RoundUPs conducted by IPA, the Association of Graphic Solutions Providers. Five dedicated soft proofing solutions were signed up for this year’s edition of the press sheet to proof matching test: CGS Publishing Technologies’ Oris Softproof, Dalim Software’s Dialogue, ICS’ Remote Director, Kodak Matchprint Virtual and SAi International’s Visual Proofer. Monitor viewing options also provided by some of the hard copy solutions are included in the test.
