Today’s tight print deadlines can put a strain on prepress professionals. How can you check fonts, images, colors, layout, etc. to be sure a prepress document is print-ready? Is there an efficient way to ensure a thorough check of your desktop publishing (DTP) documents before printing?
Preflighting can help you to prepare files to print as you intend. Markzware provides you with tools that enable you to create error-free print documents.

Markzware’s FlightCheck Results Window with Results Warning
When preparing print files, you may want to consider:
• Are they high or low resolution images?
• Did you save all your full-color process images as CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black for print) and not RGB (Red, Green, Blue for on-screen)?
• Are your document’s images in JPG or TIFF format?
• Are there any bleeds?
High-resolution, CMYK images in TIFF format in a document with an 1/8″ bleed allowance may be preferable. FlightCheck can check these document areas and warn you of potential printing problems.
FlightCheck‘s interface is simple to use. Here are the steps for using this valuable prepress software:
How to Preflight for Printing Quality (basic overview)
