Using FlightCheck Professional as a Printer
As a print production company, you know it is essential that the files you receive can be produced without any problems at any part of your production process. In the Graphic Industry, it is common practice for the Printer to take care of all the problems the client’s file has; many times at a great cost.
In the past 10 years much has changed. In the past, the Printer shouldered most of the responsibility for design quality. The designer now has sufficient compute power, application programs and experience to make their own creations. Unfortunately for the Printer, even veteran designers lack certain knowledge when it comes to the production process and the settings that are required to guarantee a smooth production workflow, especially with PDF. For the printer, the incoming file is placed in the ‘To Do’ bin, waiting in the queue for processing. Perhaps, after a day, the prepress department takes it to the RIP station or even further into the workflow (plates or even print or finishing), only to find that something was wrong with the file. A lot of time, effort and money (profit!) was wasted on a file that has to be re-printed! FlightCheck will eliminate this headache.
In today’s fast-paced world, the client drops off his file today and expects delivery in the shortest amount of time for the least amount of money. To deliver on that expectation, all you really need are error-free files that run smoothly through your workflow. Now, back to the real world. What you really need is a good way to check the files the minute they arrive from your client to make sure you can deliver the expectation first and foremost. With FlightCheck Professional, you now have the perfect tool to meet the customer’s expectation without sacrificing your profitability.
FlightCheck Professional is so easy to use that your Traffic Manager can check the file while the customer completes the job ticket. Simply by dragging and dropping the file on FlightCheck Professional, they will receive all the information that is needed to decide whether the file can be processed or requires work. With the Result and Overview window, all information needed to make a professional decision is at your fingertips. Staging files, redirecting them for correction or calling your client to make the changes is much easier and less expensive at this point than interrupting the actual production process.
Companies that use FlightCheck Professional see their production process run smoother and their operating costs reduced significantly. Amazingly, a full license for FlightCheck Professional is only 499 Euro/339 GBP, vs. the cost of a press sitting idle (about 300 Euro/200 GBP per hour) because a file error was found; time after time… you do the math!
Get FlightCheck Professional for each desktop of the people receiving files from your clients and make sure they stop corrupt files from entering the workflow at this stage. Not to mention that this should be the number-one tool for your PrePress department. Doing so will save your company significant time and money, as well as eliminate unnecessary stress and troubles in planning and production. FlightCheck Professional is the most important, easiest to use and least expensive tool you can own to reclaim your profits. It’s little wonder that the ROI (Return On Investment) per hour is the highest! Buy FlightCheck today and start saving!
