Digital proofing is today’s alternative to sending hard-copy proofs via mail, fax, or courier.
BooksPress sends digital proofs as computer files, usually as e-mail attachments.
Digital proofing technology has one major conceptual advantage: streamlining of the process. The removal of printing films in the proofing process by going digital has many advantages. Material costs, labor costs, equipment costs, and time can all be reduced dramatically. Instead of outputting film from your electronic publishing environment, you can skip all that time and material and go directly to a proof.
In this fashion, if an error is a found or changes are to be made, the printing films and costs involved with a re-output are not an issue. Changes can be made, a new proof can be output, and an "OK to Print" can be given before the final output to film begins. No more bins of scrap film due to changes or errors! No more long delays as a re-output is completed! When the digital process works as planned, large amounts of time and capital are saved.
For client proofing, page layouts are saved in the “portable document format” (PDF) created by Adobe Systems. A PDF file preserves all the text, fonts, design, graphics and colors of any source document — regardless of the application or platform used to create it.
When you open the PDF file, you can see the proof exactly as it was designed. You can view it in full-screen mode to check overall layout or in extreme close-up to examine detail. You can even print as many copies as you wish.
The next step is simple: Make any comments and revisions you have and return them via e-mail, fax or mail to BookPress office. We will work with you to make sure that all necessary changes are implemented.
