While these are not contract proofs, the spot colors will need to be a reasonable facsimile. It is also necessary to have a RIP that will automatically nest or gang the images automatically to utilize material to its fullest and save time.

It ends up printing one after the other in the vertical direction. These files are only 3 or 4 inches wide so there is considerable waste in time and material. We have been working around this by sending individual postscript for each color. This is tedious for operators, especially with multiple versions of 10 color jobs. 10 colors x 3 version = printing postscript 30 times!
