Would an airplane pilot ever take-off without performing a preflight check? The answer is “no.” Then, why would you drop your PDFs into your print workflow without performing a thorough preflight? Thousands of Markzware customers rely on FlightCheck every day to check their PDF or source print files, such as Adobe InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop or QuarkXPress before document output (print or create PDF)/send off. Whether it is an open file type or a PDF, FlightCheck will not only check for the Top Ten preflight problems but will scan your documents for literally hundreds of potential, costly printing problems. Best of all, encourage the use of FlightCheck throughout your extended workflow, as a PDF is only as good as the source or native files it is created from!
Whether it is hairlines or RGB colors, image compression or ink density of your PDF, FlightCheck will let you know. Stop the “Top-Ten Preflight Problems” today and start saving more!

So, whether you print custom envelopes (do custom envelope printing) or do large digital printing, you should consider using FlightCheck to preflight your files before printing. See more printing solutions on the Markzware Products page.
