Soft Proofing in GTA

[BeauchampT]

I am looking into soft proofing for practical appraisal purposes on a print shop floor.

I've been doing a little looking around, and we already have some basic software/hardware (i.e. i1 Pro and i1 Match), but I really want to get a feel for how effective it is and what sort of monitors/setup we would need.

Anyone in the GTA using soft proofing on their shop floor? Would you be open to sharing how you set yourself up, or better yet, a visit?

Thanks,

T

Just for clarity. GTA is the Greater Toronto Area.

They might not know this in Texas.

Printing hasn't been invented yet in Texas. LOL It's all cowboys and oil.

Good reminder.....sorry, force of habit. Stinking Canadians....

I thought Canadians were too cold to smell...

Contact GTI - they've done some custom booths for people using softproofing on the press floor.

Also, contact Remote Director - they have press-side soft proofing to stick into these custom booths that GTI builds. :~)

Those two sources will be able to tell you if anyone in your neighborhood is using the technology.

Thanks for your suggestions....

Or if you are looking for a more advanced solution check out Viki Solutions Vera Creative Workflow and Prepress Portal. We came from Creo/Kodak and have built a proofing API to replace RealTimeProof and Smart Review System and we also replace InSite Prepress Portal. Sorry for the plug!
