The environment in which contract-color soft proofs are viewed must be controlled, just as a viewing booth
is critical for evaluating hard proofs. Workstations should be installed in a room that offers stable and
controlled lighting conditions according to ISO Standards.
In an environment of ever-shrinking budgets and deadlines, soft proofing evolved into the most effective
proofing system in the fast-paced printing industry. It has become a superior alternative to hard proofing
for color approval because it’s fast, easy to implement, and accurate as long as the hardware, particularly
the monitor, is reliable.
LaCie monitors are an excellent choice for challenging workflows, because they combine an excellent view-
ing experience based on high quality panels and back lighting with unbeatable color gamuts. LaCie moni-
tors offer designers and advertising agencies increased flexibility and efficiency at an affordable price.
