Softproofing: Largely ignored in spite of being very accurate, softproofing is poised to finally enter the mainstream

Softproofing is the natural transition from paper proofs to digital proofs. Today, we use a color-managed inkjet printer with a RIP to print contract proofs. The technology is mature and the proofs are close to perfect, not only for color but also in terms of what a specific press can do. Hardproofing is ideal and preferred for many environments, particularly in settings where the brand owner and team is synched with preferred vendors.

Other environments would benefit from a digital system that eliminates mirrored hardware and software systems, fosters real time dialogue from client to pressman, facilitates interaction between remote locations. That’s what softproofing brings to the table.

We have worked for years with Remote Director, a Californian company devoted to the development of digital proofing. We asked Dan Caldwell, president of Remote Director, to tell us the current status of this interesting but often misunderstood technology.

Award-winning magazine, Out of Chaos, has folded.

We had realized a dream with Out of Chaos: To publish a magazine, free of charge and with not advertising, a gift to the graphic and printing industries. We produced 90% fresh content written by dedicated writers. Our articles were a mix of cutting edge color technology, introductions to new and not so new technology, and captivating general interest stories. In the magazine’s short life, published for the first time in 2013, we won awards from the Western Publishing Association, and were finalists for the very coveted Ozzie and Eddie awards from Folio.
But all good things come to an end. Unable to attract enough readers, we can no longer continue.
You will always have access to the downloadable app and web reader version, with its seven issues. We hope you enjoy them.
We thank the dedicated team that made it possible to publish at all: Writers Kevin O’Connor and Danielle Ruderman; Designer LN Vaillencourt, and technical and creative wizard Matt Richmond. We also thank the many industry colleagues who collaborated on these articles.
