Preflight vs PostflightPreflight vs Postflight

• Preflight is the process of analyzing source or non-

PDF digital files prior to their insertion in a prepress

workflow to ensure that they are ready for their intended

purpose.

• Postflight is the process of analyzing processed files

commonly called a PDF (PostScript™, DCS2, Etc.) for

quality control in a digital prepress workflow.

It would be great if everyone preflighted everything!

Why Preflight?Why Preflight?

• Save Time• Spend 30 minutes in Preflight instead of countless hours

lost to printing incorrect jobs!!!

• Save Money• Bad print jobs can cost hundreds or even thousands…

don’t let it eat into your profit, or raise the cost for the client!

• Stop Headaches• NO more worries of “will it print?” or “did I do

everything right?” Know in advance that it is right!

Why Preflight?Why Preflight?

• Enhance Communication• Not just a call to your client that there is something wrong

but a full professional report, listing the issues and potential remedies! (With Web-based preflighting you get this in REAL-TIME and automated!)

• Increase Professional Integrity• Get your job right the first time, and look like a real pro to

your clients. Don’t get caught looking like an amateur!

• Automatic Education for graphic artists• Preflighting will teach you what to look for, so next time

there are fewer mistakes from the beginning!
