Re: remote proofing
Ryan,
To answer your question.
AbsoluteProof can certainly deliver Contone proofs, remotely or locally,
In short::
Input,
PDF, Tiff, Separated Contone, Separated Halftone, RGB, CMYK, CMYK+Spot, Multicolor / N-Color up to 8 color via ICC.
Output:
Printer Hard Copy, PDF, Tiff, Contone or halftone depends on source, Printer Native Format.
For remote proofing the folowing output format can be used, either Halftone or Contone proofs.
Tiff , PDF, Printer Native Format.
Delivering the file in a Printer Native Format will deliver the most accurate results but can produce quite large files.
The choice of Contone or Halftone does not have an impact on the size of the files.
Some larger users use FTP software such as MassTransit from
http://www.grouplogic.com to ease the transfer of massive amounts of files.
I hope this helps to clarify.
