Abstract

This document gives formatting instructions for authors preparing papers for publication in the proceedings of an IEEE conference. These graphic technology prepress terms defined proof as a hard or soft copy reproduction made using various technologies to simulate an intended printing output. As a graphic medium for visual verification from design to print production, color proof not just contains a pretty picture, but it is a prototype representing the “look and feel of printed page.” In publication printing, a contract proof serves as a legal binding agreement between advertisers and publishers. Printers are required to print to match contract proofs. This survey will address the implementation of color management concerning digital proofing and its associated practices in the Shah Alam printing industry. A questionnaire is designed to assess the implementation of digital proofing process and its proof certifications. The goal of this research is to conduct a survey in order to capture the view of printing companies regarding certified digital proof.
