PRE-PRESS TECHNOLOGY

The Kodak Approval Proofing System is one of recent changes in the pre-press department. It produces color proofs directly from the digital files, replacing both film and matchprint proofs! These digital proofs simulate the final printing proof complete with dit-gain and density which are consistent from proof to proof.
