SOFT PROOFING -- Is Printing Going Soft?

Creo has integrated soft proofing into its Synapse InSite Internet portal interface to production. Files can be pulled directly from its Prinergy or Brisque systems and fed to users with pixel streaming technology. (www.creo.com)

The OneFlow PDF-based workflow from EFI implements the ROOM (rasterize once, output many) concept to also support proofing. Soft proofing is provided by the "View" function, which supports CMYK and spot color data. Users can view raster data to check high-resolution signatures. (www.efi.com)
