Production: Think Bigger and Better

In one workflow example, online proofs are released to a team leader at a different location who oversees the review process. To make corrections, that lead kicks the file back. If all’s fine, the lead can select a review team to build, identify and manage the proofing process internally.

This proof cycle includes multiple manufacturer approvals in varying locations. Although proofs could be sent to reviewers all at once, this workflow has the proofs sent in a predetermined order using an e-mail notification system and an allotted time frame. Upon completion, the proofs are returned to the team leader, who has a final chance to review markups and add or delete comments — all without paper.
