Post riping pdf or jpegs or tiffs

[ashwini singh]

Hi,
we are recently using heidelberg ctp and workflow. We have installed a software where we take out our plots/proofs after ripping for approval where we avoid all possibilities of errors happening while ripping. All errors are recognised at the plot stage only leaving us care free that any further errors ( font changing, matter moving ) can happen.

My question is that for some of our clients we have very little turn around time and we usually dont have time to get hard copies(proofs) approved. Is there any way or software that i can prepare jpegs/ pdfs / tiffs after ripping which i can send to the client for soft copy approval.
This will save us a lot of time (proof reading) and mental stress.

Regards
Ashwini

For very fast turn around approvals maybe a web based solution is worth looking into.
Here's an EskoArtwork product called WebCenter, check out the demo videos. Welcome to WebCenter: Web-based project management and pre-production approval

The tools from Lucid really work well and can plug into most workflows fairly easily. For the money its a hard value to beat.

Ashwini,
We have Heidelberg, Signastation (2) and Meta Rip (2) we send PDF proofs to the client for approval on every job.
In Meta you can setup a Virtual Printer/Hot Folder for PDF export, these are actually raster files with a PDF rapper.
What is your configuration? There are many possibilities if you have PrintReady P or more.
