Preflighting Color Graphics and InDesign Layouts; Moore's Law in Prepress

Moore’s Law is exactly the last reason, albeit a very serious one, to preflight your Photoshop color graphics and InDesign layouts. Here is an interesting piece on Moore’s Law and the prepress department, which was a good insight into pre-media:

“These components of pre-media all have their place of importance and need to be correctly executed and managed whilst considering the hardware they need. I showed in the last post how the effect of Moore’s Law played a part in the productivity of a pre-media department, but increasing your companies hardware performance doesn’t not equal faster throughput without addressing the pre-media operation as a whole, just like having the fastest formula one car doesn’t automatically qualify you as the winner of the race.”
