How to
Prevent Printing Problems
in Prepress by Preflighting

How to prevent printing problems in prepress by preflighting with Markzware‘s preflight solution, FlightCheck:

It is very important for printers to ensure there are no serious errors that prevent successful printing. To make sure prepress team members do not overlook major print items, preflighting is vital. Preflighting is a process in which prepress professionals check print items in a document.

Without preflighting, prepress professionals could miss the chance to make corrections before press time. The risks of not preflighting include such printing problems as:

• file errors.
• poor print quality.
• material waste.
• excessive work.
• costs of failed print runs.
• delays in print product delivery.

Creative professionals can ensure print quality control, by using a preflight checklist. FlightCheck, pre press software by Markzware, checks documents for a long list of printing problems. It can do a thorough preflight check of your prepress documents and warn you of possible file problems.

The following video and steps show you how to ensure printing quality, by preflighting with FlightCheck:
