Preflight 

Interactive preflight application

Preflighting files to prepare them for printing is a complex chore. Even if a designer has extensive printing knowledge, it is difficult to know the printer's job requirements. With Esko's checkX, the creative professional can preflight Adobe® Illustrator® CS design files before they are sent to the prepress house or printer - automatically and interactively.

Validate the design for print. checkX allows you to validate a design file in the application in which it was created. Direct feedback is provided: checkX alerts the user to any object that doesn't comply with a printability profile.

With checkX, a clean and printable design - including a checkX validation report - is delivered and verified against the exact profile the prepress provider had sent. A match between digital signatures embedded in both the parameter file and report is the guarantee.
