There are instances when you still want a dot proof so it all depends
on what your clients require and how the final piece is going to be
reproduced (e.g. screened, stochastic?). Speaking as a production
person for an ad and design agency, there's been instances when I've
requested dot proofs for client approvals. One good reason is it's
easier to convince a demanding client that what they see on a dot-
proof is what they'll get when the final piece is printed. Unless
you're printing in stochastic (and a willing client to pay for it), a
dot proof will give you, IMHO, a more accurate representation of
solids and gradients than a digital proof. Screened type (one of our
designers love to use 70% Black for text) and large blocks of solid
colours come to mind.

We have switched our proofing systems about a year
ago. We use to have a high dollar, high end, dot proof
system. We have since taken the plung and went to
Epson Ultra chrome ink proofing, using GMG Rip. We
have finger printed our presses and bulit device link
profiles for our GMG Rip to produce a good proof to
press match. However we are going through our battles
trying to explain to our own sales staff and customers
why we did this. Allot of our high end clients are
from the old school and demand to see a hard dot dot
proof, (example, Matchprint, Kodak Color Approval, or
Fugi Color Art, etc.). Even using the dot proof
function out of GMG does not produce the dot that they
are looking for. We have recently added onto our sales
staff who have come from such places that specifically
used these proofing systems and want answers as to why
we have gone this route. I can obviously write some
sound answers of my own but they are looking for some
documentation that may carry alittle more clout in the
industry than my humble position within our company.
So I am asking for some help from those authorities or
someone who may know where I can be led to find such
documentation as to why the industry is going down
this path for proofing.
Thanks for any help in advance.
