Adobe InDesign Live Preflight and FlightCheck
Excellent article came out this month in Print & Paper Monthly about why Markzware’s FlightCheck Professionall and Adobe’s Live Preflighting within Adobe InDesign, should be used all in the same workflow. It is titled, “In flight, preflight, and post flight” and here is available to be read as an online edition as well.

The article goes into great detail about where and how to preflight and how to get the most out of your workflow. It is a recommended read for any print-shop or even for publishers and designers, as preflighting crosses borders.

[...] Preflight or postflight, PitStop or FlightCheck? That is like asking; brush your teeth or comb your hair? You should (and hopefully you are) doing both! Here was a new thread over on PrintPlanet that my colleague Mark (and Charles) alerted us to: Pitstop or Flightcheck? We are a small print shop working with Macs, QuarkXPress & CS4 applications. We get some native files along with PDFs from customers for jobs, but mostly we get PDFs. Can you tell me the pros and cons to each of these software packages as a preflighting tool?
