Dick,
I'll take your digital proofs all day long but beforehand I will have output
some test files from you on my 'contract' proofer and both you and I have
agreed that your proofs are very, very close to my proofs. If they are, then
I can match them on press.
And if you supplied print ready PDF files, I won't burden you with reviewing
a digital blueline either. Though I might ask you to flip through a PDF from
my system before plating on the first few jobs. Heck, I might even let you
softproof your PDF's on your monitor if you've really got things together on
your end and I'll use my pair of ACD 23's for color out by the delivery end
of my 6/c sheetfeds printing 20 micron.
