Summary: Great Reference, Highly Educational
Comment: This book is an excellent overview of the various stages an electronic file goes through between design and print. It is not written so much as a "how-to" preflight book but rather as a "what to avoid and why" reference. Each chapter deals with a specific preflight issue, such as Vector and Bitmap Images, Fonts, PostScript, DPI, File Formats, Collecting the Pieces, etc. Anyone wishing to peer into the workflow of a prepress department will get a great education on WHY electronic files must conform to certain restrictions and what happens if they don't. Mr. Muir uses flowcharts and simple but clear illustrations to demonstrate his points. He also includes comprehensive preflight checklists, overviews of the various preflight software packages available today, and an introduction to PostScript errors and how to deal with them. His writing style is highly informational without being wordy. It would serve as an excellent reference book for both content creators and service providers, and would be highly educational for anyone even remotely involved in digital output. END
