Diving into a Digital Sea

Proofing Options

To make a completely filmless, computer-to-plate or direct-to-press workflow a reality for color work requires a digital proofing system that produces acceptable color proofs. Manufacturers are working on that, and several of the continuous-tone dye-sublimation proofers from companies such as Tektronix incorporate color management software. This improves the device's ability to simulate the results of the final output device.
