PROOFING
These days, most of the print pieces we produce come from digital files that were originally created with desktop publishing software such as Quark or Adobe Illustrator. It's easy to look at a design on a computer monitor and assume that the print piece will look exactly like the image on the screen.

However, factors such as the surface on which the piece is printed and the inks and coatings used, introduce complexity. For these reasons, proofing is a critical component of any print project, by helping to ensure that the print piece truly realizes the vision of the designer. Below is a description of some of the proofing solutions we offer:

Digital Blue Line Proofs
Digital Blue Line Proofs are useful for identifying trapping errors, or problems with how the different colors in a piece overlap. At G2, our Digital Blue Line Proofs are backed up on a digital Xerox IGEN printer.

Digital Dot Proofs
Digital Dot Proofs help ensure that PMS colors, including metallic PMS colors, are rendered correctly. We can create Digital Dot Proofs on any substrate using our Fuji Final Digital Halftone Proofer. In other words, if you are creating a piece on a specific type of paper or other substrate such as vinyl, you can preview the color on that piece.

Digital Matchprint Proofs
Digital Matchprint Proofs are another type of proof we use to ensure color accuracy. Our Creo Trendsetters can create Digital Matchprint Proofs on any substrate, which allow you to see the actual colors on the actual substrate you'll be printing on.

InkJet Proofs
InkJet Proofs are a less expensive proofing solution. Our Epson 9600 InkJet Digital Proofer yields high-quality proofs. While the colors are not exact in an InkJet Proof, they are very close.
