Markzware’s PDF/non-PDF inspection software, FlightCheck, provides printers with useful tools for prepress quality checks. FlightCheck reviews accuracy of print details, before those details affect print run results.
How to Preflight and Batch Package Files via FlightCheck
Printers can customize Ground Controls and drop a file on the FlightCheck icon. FlightCheck will immediately begin to preflight the document.
With Markzware’s FlightCheck, you can collect and package Illustrator, InDesign, Photoshop, QuarkXPress, and PDF files together, in a single archive, which you can send to your printer, publisher, or workflow member.
• In your Finder window, select multiple files of any common print type.
• Drag & Drop all of those print files on the FlightCheck icon, which will perform a pre-flight analysis of each file. (The FlightCheck eagle will screech, when preflighting is complete.)
• The FlightCheck Results screen will display problems that you specified in the Ground Controls. Close that screen, when you are done checking.
• Click on “Collect” at the top of the FlightCheck window. FlightCheck will package documents, package images, and package fonts that it preflighted. You can compress and rename the print job. Open the package archive, to see all of the fonts, image and layout files for that print job, packaged into one folder with a collect report.
Preflight is crucial in maintaining high productivity and consistent, quality preflight in print document workflows. FlightCheck supports document production, regardless of which common print file type you use.
FlightCheck collects and packages required print elements, to ensure that jobs print as expected.
