Catalog Production in the Digital Age

If the file fails preflight, it obviously doesn’t move forward in the workflow (where it’s likely to cost even more to fix as it nears the press). Rather, it’s rejected and sent back to the customer, along with a detailed report of what’s awry. In as few as 15 minutes, the cataloger is apprised of the problems with the file, can fix them and resubmit the file to the printer for a second preflight inspection.
