PDF for Print, Proofing and More

“Remote proofing is a major benefit for our out-of-state customers, or any customer, in fact, who is overnighting or couriering proofs. That cost goes away,” Meersman says, “and it enables them better balance of the workload.”

Adds Loggins: “We have a client who was working with a prior vendor, and they were releasing their files to the printer on, say, a Wednesday and getting 72 pages worth of proofs back on the following Friday, 10 days later.” Now printing with Banta, the client found that turnaround on proofs could be greatly reduced through remote proofing, allowing them to get proofs more quickly and as they were ready, rather than getting slammed with a massive proofing project on a Friday afternoon. Proofs are received within hours in some cases, enabling the client to more expeditiously get the proofs routed through its internal approval rounds.
