My company is a marketing/design firm. I have brought our prepress in-house almost entirely supplying final PDF/X-1a files and Epson proofs via a GMG ColorProof RIP. I know I have over-simplified things but I am trying to keep it short.
We are producing more proofs than ever, having various catalogs that are over 200 pages and may have 2 to 3 rounds of page proofs. We have not been using any form of automated or manual tracking to attach each proof to a specific job. Nor do we have any form of consumable tracking to see our actual vs. waste. I now need to set up a system to account for billable and non-billable output from our three Epsons.
What are you using? Is there an off-the-shelf package, have you built your own system?
Any, and all, input is much appreciated.
