A very general, open question. Will be eventually printing a magazine at 10 micron stochastic and currently looking into office equipment for 'general' proofing before sending off to pre-press. Looking to find out what kind of office printer may be most suitable for this. I realize calibration of any printer would really come down to communication with the ultimate print provider, but I'm just pretty overwhelmed by the options out there. Any suggestions would be great. Also looking for recommendations concerning any other equipment I may need for these same initial (office) proofing purposes. As in a viewing booth by GretagMacbeth, monitor calibrators, high-end scanners, or anything else which would be essential for the layout department of a magazine. I know this is a very broad question with a lot of variables involved...but I just need to have a round start somewhere, and whittle my way down to the rub. Any comments, suggestions would be of great help.
