In this third installment of our PitStop Pro Deep Dive series, Jason walks you through the anatomy of a production-ready preflight profile — specifically the Cut Sheet CMYK profile we use for small-format digital work.
Preflight isn't just about catching errors. A well-built profile surfaces critical information, applies smart automatic fixes, and stops jobs that simply can't be produced — all before they ever reach the RIP. Jason covers the philosophy behind what to check (and just as importantly, what not to check), and walks through each category in detail: document integrity, page box layout, color conversion, transparency handling, font embedding, image resolution, layers, and action lists.
The Cut Sheet CMYK V1 profile referenced in this webinar is available to download — link included with this post.
Next month: Smart Preflight, where variable sets drive profile decisions dynamically.
