Preflighting At Multiple Stages
Here is an interesting release of Printools, now for InDesign CS4 and QuarkXPress 8. We see yet another example of how important it is to perform preflighting at multiple stages in the workflow:
XChange UK Announce Printools for InDesign CS4 and Quark 8
The preflighting engine in Printools quickly and thoroughly checks for potential problems that could lead to time and material waste. Users can customize the preflight checks by activating any of the following diagnostics: missing fonts, text overflows, non-printing graphics, broken picture links, RGB images, modified links, and poor image resolution.
Printools makes it easy to keep track of the printed files with the powerful Print Log window. This window reports in real time which files are being printed (or saved), plus any errors or warnings that may occur during the output process. It also included the Preflight Results list with all the preflighting details, and the Skipped Documents list, including documents that have been skipped for not meeting the preflight requirements.
