• Live Preflight

  An always-on preflight panel for Adobe Illustrator. Leave it open and it keeps checking the document you are working on against print requirements: RGB objects, rich black, images under the target resolution, hairlines, unoutlined text, and more. The panel shows English or Japanese.
