• Check artwork width, height, repeat length, pouch dimensions, sealing areas, cutting margins and print layout against job requirements.
• Verify the number of printing colours, CMYK and spot-colour separations, Pantone references and white-ink layers where applicable.
• Check bleed, trapping, overprint, image resolution, barcode/QR code placement and other prepress requirements.
• Compare revised artwork and cylinder proofs with approved files to identify unintended changes.
• Coordinate with customers, sales, production and cylinder suppliers to resolve discrepancies and obtain final approvals.
• Maintain artwork versions, approval records and a prepress checklist for every job.
