First, look at the product.
Second, look at the budget. Determine the required digital proofing capabilities and the size of the printer based on your business volume and business content. Some companies need a full proofing system, which is more efficient; some only need to be split or even A3 format. Often, digital proofing suppliers offer a variety of solutions for users to choose from.
In the budget formulation, in addition to the basic functions of color reproduction, speed, and hierarchy, it is also necessary to pay attention to a special function, that is, the network. Although everyone claims that their system can achieve dot proofing, this is not the case. In this regard, users must be different from each other. But what's important is that users themselves must understand that dot proofing is necessary for themselves? If you don't have to have this feature, you don't have to use a dot to proof. If you really need it, you should consider this feature. Of course, it depends on whether the budget is allowed.
Third, the program design. After determining the approximate functionality and budget of the product, select the suppliers and provide them with solutions based on functionality and budget. It is worth noting that the function only needs to meet the budget settings, and it is not necessary to force more functions as much as possible.
Fourth, identify products and suppliers. This phase is crucial. Choose a more satisfactory supplier through “One Look, Two Listen, Three Touch”:
(1). "see" number of users: the number of existing users often represents the choice of most people. “Congregation” is often an effective way to reduce risk;
(2). "listen" user evaluation: listen to the reflections of several users, and not just listen to the words of the supplier. "By listening, then listening is dark." The evaluation of existing users is very illustrative.
(3). "contact" suppliers: Digital proofing is different from general equipment. It is not a single product, but a combination of hardware and software, and requires a complete solution for the commissioning, training and follow-up services. Contact the supplier directly to find out if they have qualified professionals for installation, commissioning and training, and whether there are dedicated color management devices (such as the iProfile Bundle of GretagMacbeth's professional color management system in Switzerland). The emphasis on service is due to the fact that although the amount of investment in digital proofing is small in the entire prepress system, it is an essential part of the digital prepress process. Whether it works well or not is directly related to the production efficiency and efficiency of the enterprise. Many companies do not have the conditions to purchase professional color management system instruments. After replacing paper, ink, etc., it is necessary to re-create the characteristic files and adjust the settings of the digital proofing. If you don't get the professional and thoughtful service from the supplier in time, it is hard to imagine that the system is working properly.
We has encountered many such users: the company has bought digital proofing software through various channels, but it will not be used, or it will not be used well, and it will be dissatisfied with the original supplier. The original supplier was unwilling or unable to continue to provide services, and had to let the purchased system idle or pay another person to re-service. Some users are greedy for cheap prices and blindly killing prices. As everyone knows, when prices are too low, suppliers are unprofitable, and where do high-quality services start?
In short, according to the above steps and methods, determine your own needs and budget, and then select qualified suppliers, digital proofing this small investment, the new technology will make your prepress process even more powerful, and bring you considerable Economic benefits.
We provides digital proofing solutions with RIP digital proofing and RIP pre-digital proofing, and has a full range of open, split, and even A3+ format choices for all types of printing plants, plate making companies, output centers, advertising companies, Used by design companies, publishers, etc. for proof output.
Comparison of digital proofing and traditional proofing
Traditional proofing:
1.More proofing procedures, complicated process
2.The printing method is completely different from printing, and the proofing effect does not allow printing approval.
3.The proofing time is long, mainly on the film and plate making.
4.Affected by the environment, temperature, humidity, ink on the water, pressure, etc.
5.Proofing is based on experience, reproducibility is very poor, human factors are important
6.If there is an error, repeat the modification of the design draft, color separation, plate making, and cost
7.Large investment, many millions, and hundreds of thousands
8.Need special site placement
Digital proofing:
1.Simple proofing operation
2.Because of the intervention of color management, the effect of printing and the effect of printing are strikingly consistent.
3.Proofing time is short, usually only takes a few minutes to ten minutes
4.Unaffected by the environment
5.Repeatability is good, no matter who, the output is consistent.
6.If you make a mistake, you can change it directly on the design draft and the loss is very small.
7.Just tens of thousands, up to hundreds of thousands.
8.No need for special venues, you can solve problems in the computer room.
