I enjoy comparing digital color proofs from my printer to the print-ready files that I produced and they perfectly match. This can only happen with a properly calibrated system using current pre-press standards.

I had heard things were troubling with Steidl, but I didn't expect this level of trouble.

What a great morning here at Mountain Trail Press and Platanus Editions. I just received a package from our printer, which contains the F&Gs for Matt Payne Photography's new book, "The Colorado Way," and the printing looks beautiful.

It’s always a great day to receive and review proofs for a client project. For this project, I am the production manager and print broker. I also provided layout and co-design, separations for the color photos, and created the duotone files for the black and white photos. This book will be printed in 6 color offset. Time to package them up and send them off to for her final approval for offset printing.

I’m reviewing digital proofs for the largest format photobook that I’ve ever printed. It is massive and incredibly beautiful.
