online proofing
• I am NOT talking about eliminating hardcopy proofing
• That might happen…but the real goal is to eliminate inefficiency in approval cycle– Save time and money
– Reduce errors

approval cycles…
• For any given project, how many people involved?– Internally?
– Externally?
• Do you communicate by:– Email and text?
– In person or on the phone?
– By fax, interoffice mail, couriers, etc.

to make matters worse…just
• Add more people to the process
• Get closer to the deadline
• Go through more iterations

but first…
The two $64,000 questions
1. Why not just email a PDF?
2. Is it contract color?
![Page 9: Save Time with Online Proofing](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020320/568bd6f11a28ab20349de9dd/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
just email a PDF
• Email has size limitations that present two bad choices:– Vector art looks good, but has not been RIPed
– Raster art must be low-res and looks bad
• Email is not an application designed for the approval process
You’re back to this

It depends on the project.
