* Integrated Color Solutions’ (ICS) Remote Director is another SWOP-certified proofing and workflow solution that enables collaborators to comment on color and content — anyone involved in the print workflow, including designers, photographers, clients, prepress shops and printers.

Dallas-based Williamson Printing rolled out Remote Director to its customers, one of which is Arroba International, a marketing firm with offices in Mexico and Texas. “Remote Director bridges the gap for me,” says Carlos Bolanos, founder and principal of Arroba International. “Before, I had to rely on overnight packages, which were often delayed in customs. It could take four to five days to turn around one round of proofs. With Remote Director, it’s possible to view several rounds of proofing in the same day. Working in sessions, I can review color according to my schedule. Williamson Printing schedules a session, and I can review it at my leisure, 24 hours a day, and have the annotations ready for them to work on as soon as I finish.”
