You should be aware that UK publishing houses and ad agency traffic people
are famed for their ability to judge the quality of a proof without even
looking at the image or colour targets!
This is now changing with publishers now that several other proofing vendors have been accredited on the Proof4Press scheme.
They open the package, flip the proof over and check what's on the back. If
it says "Digital Cromalin" or "Cromalin WaterProof" the job is passed
without question.
If it says "Epson" or, heaven forbid, there's nothing printed on the back -
the proof is "highly questionable" and likely to be rejected.
We've had some success in the past with the Epson DuPont proofing paper using an inkjet. It's survived several 'turnover' tests thanks to the legend on the back :-) .
Rumour has it that there is at least one UK printer who overprints a certain
"logo" on the reverse of their Epson 10000 proofs...
Remarkably similar to those who used to produce a pile of blank ,all but for the density strip, sheets of analogue digital media and add the pictures later.
