When producing magazines and books, there are many functions and people involved, starting with authors and writers, photographers, ad people, etc., right up to final approval at the printer.  Everyone works hard.

Still, journalists often complain that the caption accompanying a photo was not correct.  Or an earlier ad revision got printed - on the wrong page.

On top of their regular work, project managers, production managers, ad department people, and others, are said to typically spend at least 2 hours per day handling e-mails.  Is it any wonder things go awry?

Let us demonstrate how WebProof's solution can work for you! Contact us now.

WebProof gives you the following functions and benefits:

• The editorial department can follow progress page by page, right from layout through to content approval, color approval, etc.
• 3D digital viewing so you can realistically page through the magazine and see if pages or ads need to be moved.
• All "print ready" ads can be uploaded by the agency or advertiser and automatically preflighted for the booked format and placed in the correct magazine on the allotted page.
• Automated identification and uploading of finished ads or ad materials (text or image) from e-mail boxes, FTP sites, and portals, right into the correct reserved magazine page.

including the original e-mail text, which is now attached and searchable!  Forget those burgeoning e-mail boxes - they won't be!

• Each completed step, whether human or automated, triggers instant notification to the next person who needs to deal with it.
• Adding or removing pages instantly changes pagination directly in high resolution PDF files.
• Since WebProof and our companion product, WebFlow, are status-flow driven, just changing the status on pages can change their flow to another printing machine with a different ICC profile.
• Processes under WebProof or WebFlow scheduling that fail, instantly trigger an alert to the person designated to fix it - particularly important when close to deadline.  Today production people often first learn of errors an hour later.
• When ready, you move an entire magazine or book to the correct printer, just by changing the project's status.
