In the production process, the pre-press hair piece or the CTP plate is the first production link after the file design is completed. Therefore, it is important to check whether the manuscript is correct before the production stage. It is to avoid waste. The best time. Because if you find problems in other production processes, the cost will increase. So, what problems should be checked at this time?
I. Inspection of the content of the manuscript
Whether the content of the manuscript is correct or not is the key to the product's ability to qualify. If a problem occurs, the quality of the product is affected by the small product, and the waste is caused by the large product. Therefore, the inspection of the manuscript content is an important task in product production, especially for some products. The urgent matter is even more important. Occasionally, due to the rush progress, individual operators neglected inspections in this area. As a result, some contents have caused problems, which delayed the construction period and brought irreparable losses to the factory. The content of the manuscript mainly includes text, images, graphics and other items. The text check mainly checks the font, font size, typesetting format, and so on. The image inspection mainly checks the image format, color mode, resolution, size, placement, and other content. The check of the graphics mainly checks the graphics style, size, placement position, and so on.
Second, check the imposition format
The imposition format should match the binding method. If the product needs to be stapled at the end, the binding problem must be taken into account when designing the layout of the manuscript. Is the product binding glued, saddle stitched, or locked? Is it half-opening or four-folding? Different requirements, different types of layout, all of which should be accurate.
Third, check the imposition specifications
Imposition specifications should match the printing equipment specifications and paper specifications. The printing equipment specifications and paper specifications used determine the size of the layout at the time of imposition. Sometimes due to communication problems, designers did not notice this situation. The layout size exceeded the paper format and affected the production progress. Similar problems must be solved before issuing or releasing a CTP version.
In short, proofreading is an important task in the production of printed products and must be consistently applied to every production process.
