When you submit a document file to us, our first step is to check up it in a process we call preflight, a term borrowed from aeronautics. Before beginning a flight, aircraft pilots run through a standard checklist to be sure the plane is airworthy and ready for flight. alike, we inspect your file against specific criteria to qualify it as ready to enter the production workflow.
Before prepress became digital, "preflight" consisted of reviewing mechanicals - the art boards used to make film or photomechanical press plates - for quality and completeness. Preflighting digital file amounts of the same thing.
