Prepress systems administrator: "The best thing about FlightCheck today– it can be customized for your situation."
Markzware has seen the ROI and value preflighting adds to the design-to-print workflow in chart form, now let’s hear from a real user. In this case, it is from Randy Jamerson, Prepress systems administrator for EBSCO Media.
Located in Birmingham, Alabama, EBSCO Media is one of the largest full-service sheetfed printers in the country. More info on their operation at the end, now onto how they use FlightCheck:
“FlightCheck has evolved into a very robust and customizable product. For example, if your workflow automatically converts RGB to CMYK and honors tagged profiles, you can customize FlightCheck so that it does not flag these as error conditions.“

Here are some thoughts that maybe you can use in your blog.
I was hired at EBSCO Media to be the first “Preflight” person in 1994. We
didn’t have FlightCheck and desktop publishing programs ( Quark and
Pagemaker) at that time had non-existent or very rudimentary tools for
preflight. Every image and graphic file associated with a job had to be
individually scrutinized. When FlightCheck arrived, it was one of those
“greater than sliced bread” events.Desktop publishing has changed a lot in 15 years and many products now have
built in preflight and collection tools, but Markzware was there “in the
beginning” and made my job much easier. There was no way to efficiently do
preflight except for Markzware FlightCheck.Desktop publishing programs have evolved and become more complex– new
features have created new challenges for rips and for printers and
FlightCheck has evolved into a very robust and customizable product. For
example, if your workflow automatically converts RGB to CMYK and honors
tagged profiles, you can customize FlightCheck so that it does not flag
these as error conditions. That’s the best thing about FlightCheck today–
it can be customized for your situation.Markzware’s other products have allowed EBSCO Media to be the “hero” for
many of our clients. While I don’t use these products on a daily basis,
they are a great tool to have in your arsenal when you need it. With
MarkzTools, we have often been able to rescue the customer with the dreaded
Quark “bad file format”.The file conversion utilities, Q2ID and PUB2ID have also been helpful to us
internally and when our clients may need files converted.Randy Jamerson
