The Next Wave - Digital Directions
Mitch Prust, third party integration specialist at WAM!NET, on delivering remote proofs in 1999.
"Digital connectivity to major customers has been a requirement for years, which is why WAM!NET and 4-Sight have been so successful—remote proofing is the next step.
"As files are sent and received digitally between the various entities in the life of a printed job, the ability to proof remotely becomes necessary. Waiting for a final contract proof to be shipped overnight or hand-delivered might be acceptable, but earlier in the approval process when additional iterations are still possible. The digital remote proof can shave days off the production timeline. The more iterations of a job that can be handled with a remote proofing solution like WAM!PROOF, the closer the customer relationship becomes and the more time that is saved.
