Proofing Progress

Now remote printing is getting scrutinized. In the past couple of years, though, color-accurate monitor-based proofing software was introduced. Systems based on this software operate in a color-managed environment with ICC profiles and ICC-based spectral monitor calibration. In addition, SWOP Inc.—the organization that developed and maintains uniform specifications and tolerances to ensure consistency and quality of material in publications—began certifying monitor-based proofing systems. KPG and Integrated Color Solutions have had their proofing systems certified (KPG's Matchprint Virtual Proofing and ICS's Remote Director).
