When asked to rate their customers' feelings toward the use of digital proofing, most respondents felt that it was accepted, rating 3.5 on a scale of 1 to 5. Preliminary results of the study were released as an executive summary during GATF's annual Tech Alert 2000 conference. This recently published report contains a substantially higher level of detail than the preliminary results. As an independent, third-party organization, GATF reports are objective research studies designed to help printers evaluate technologies on their own by guiding consumers to ask the right questions. Potential users can then make educated decisions about these products based on their workflow requirements, production cycles, and customer needs.
Methodology is described in all reports.
