Why only offer proofs from one system? If you have customers who want
dot-proofs, fire up your old equipment. Give DOD proofs to the rest of
them. If you can educate some of the former and save them some money,
great. But for those that you can't convince, they'll just go
elsewhere.
I've yet to see a DOD proofing system with sufficient resolution and dot
placement accuracy to provide quality dot-proofs. By 'quality' I mean
being able to predict halftone problems on the press, without creating
false-positives. No one likes surprises while the press is running.
Maybe GMG has some cases studies you could point people to? They're
trying to sell this system too.

Subject: Documentation on proofing systems
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.
