The Soft Side of Proofing

"The color is as accurate as our old analog proofs," remarks Director Ken Johnson.

On the other end of the scale, a rare few printers are debating whether proofs need to be used at all. (See story elsewhere on this site.) In between are fans of digital soft proofing systems. Though many are wary of virtual (monitor-based) proofing, citing concerns of color consistency from monitor to monitor, the decision of whether or not to use use soft proofing really depends on the purpose of the proof itself.
