For smaller-format jobs, the in-plant uses a Xerox DocuColor 12 or a Xerox 2060 for proofing. PDF proofs are useful for the in-plant’s external customer base, though Knox avoids them for new jobs.

“We’re sharing more work between the print shops in each of our locations,” she says. “Our customers are going to be so much further away, and there’s lag time when you send hard copy proofs.”
