Markzware, the inventors of FlightCheck, the patented preflight technology to check documents in several file types for print quality assurance, found this post about a preflight checklist:
“…your first responsibility of the prepress process is to preflight your files. Preflighting is the process of gathering together and reviewing all the elements necessary to translate what you create on your computer to the printer’s computer. Most printers can provide you with a preflight checklist.”
