When it comes to proofing, in-plants use a variety of methods, both virtual and tangible.

If the Proof Fits...

Print & Mail Services at Regence BlueShield, in Tacoma, Wash., uses a proofing printer less for color accuracy than for size. To proof pages larger than 19?, the in-plant uses an Epson Stylus Pro 7600 supported by EFI Colorproof XF.

“The larger format is a huge advantage for us because if it’s something that is 26? wide, then they can at least know exactly what it is going to look like size-wise and where things are going to be laid out versus having to cut and paste something together,” says Supervisor Kim Knox.
