MarkzNet is a standalone application that runs on Macintosh or Windows platforms and requires a browser and a network connection. As the use of the Internet and PDF in publishing becomes more widespread, there will continue to be an evident and increasing need for high-quality preflighting tools that can be used to check the quality and integrity of job files, via the Internet. PrintFlight assists commercial printers and their customers in identifying and resolving document problems as it automatically delivers, through the Internet, preflighted and collected digital files for print jobs. PrintFlight online preflighting enables printers to expand their service offerings and reduce costs by preventing errors and unnecessary film output. Subsequent file submissions result in additional reports without the destruction of previous reports.
Error handling is done by specifying ground controls.
Each ground control setting can be set to Not Check, Ignore, Warn, Error. In this manner the printer can tailor ground controls any way he wants with the amount of customer involvement that he deems appropriate, and the amount of preflighting he deems appropriate. This enables the printer to decide how much of all this he wants the buyer to see. If the printer specifies a warning, the buyer sees the report of all warnings and can decide if he wants to fix the problems or send them on to the printer. If the printer specifies an item as an error, it will prohibit the buyer from transmitting the files.
