Check, Check, Check!

"Before we began using the software, we could spend many hours manually inspecting incoming files," he explains. Now, using the program's default file-checking parameters, Port says Seneca has been able to substantially streamline the process. "The most common problems are associated with the way designers specify colors. FlightCheck helps us check for spot colors and naming. The next biggest issue is fonts. FlightCheck runs a list of all the fonts used in the job and we compare that to the list of fonts we have in our own library. Lastly, we look at the images to make sure they are in the format, size and resolution we need. If the resolution is too low—which is often the case for images scanned on desktop scanners—we can contact the customer and make sure he's aware that the image may come out pixelized or soft."
