Paperlessproofs remove the inefficiencies and reduce the costs of the proofing process

» Cost savings
» Time savings
» Quality improvement
» Completely electronic workflow


Cost savings

  » No paper proofs costs, no photocopying costs and no delivery costs, so if your typesetter is in the Far East, your author in New York, your proofreader in London, and you are in Edinburgh – your paper proof costs are zero and your proof delivery costs are zero

  » There is no licence fee and no annual subscription, so you can use paperlessproofs as often or as infrequently as you need to

  » Charges are incurred only when you create a paperlessproof, based on the number of pages in the original PDF; you can send the paperlessproof to as many people, as
    many times as you need, with no further charge

  » Built-in reporting lists all the PDFs you have converted to paperlessproofs with the number of pages for each document and the date to allow accurate identification and allocation of title costs

  » For every job you complete using paperlessproofs, you will save on average 65% of the proof production and delivery
    costs compared with traditional proofing

Time savings

  » Every time you need to send a proof to authors, proofreaders, or typesetters, or they are returned to you, you can save a day or more

  » No more laborious photocopying of marked proofs

Quality improvement

  » Completely legible, tidy proofs

  »

Transcription errors avoided: all inserted/replacement text can be cut and pasted between the paperlessproof and the DTP file


  »

Text and image files can be attached as part of the PDF file:
new or replacement material always travels with the
proof and is never lost


  » Text corrections are keyed onto paperlessproofs, removing problems of hard-to-read handwriting

  »

Proofs are always complete, no lost/missing pages, always in the correct order


  »

Proof-correction symbols are placed on the proofs, but changes to the underlying PDF are not possible


  » BSI proof-correction standard symbols fully implemented

Enables a completely electronic workflow

  » From MS delivery through PDF to printer
