You will receive the paperlessproof by e-mail. Open it and start making corrections straight away

When you have finished, save the corrected proof and return it by e-mail

No specialist computer skills necessary: click on the icon opposite to see the demonstration of how easy paperlessproofs is to use

Save time and money

No cost to you: the software is free and the publisher pays for the creation of the paperlessproof

No need to laboriously photocopy or hand-copy proofs before dispatch: simply keep a copy of the electronic paperlessproofs file

Corrected proofs returned by e-mail or FTP:
no need to organise expensive express deliveries to meet deadlines

Accurate and clear corrections

Paperlessproofs use BSI standard proof-correction symbols

Transcription errors avoided: text corrections keyed onto the proof, so there is no chance of misread handwriting

New or revised text can be cut and pasted
into the paperlessproof from other applications, saving
time and effort

Text corrections can be cut and pasted by the
typesetter into the typesetting files, avoiding transcription errors

Files containing images or long text corrections can be attached to form part of the PDF; no chance of
their being forgotten or mislaid
