  ICS RemoteDirector Screen With Remote Director, monitor proofing reaches the next level. With features and tools designed for each phase of the printing and publishing process, Remote Director is designed with you in mind.

ICS's Remote Director monitor proofing system is the final link to a truly digital workflow, eliminating the last remaining skeleton: the paper proof. With Remote Director, viewers can collaborate over colour-accurate proofs in real-time or work at their own convenience, allowing agencies, brands, publishers, prepress shops and printers to communicate with the utmost efficiency and accomplish in hours what has traditionally taken days.

Proofs can be shared, marked-up and reviewed, and then revisions re-posted all before a paper proof can be picked up for delivery. And, as the first monitor-based proofing system to be SWOP® Certified, RemoteDirector.net guarantees that its proofs match the colour certification data sets used in Publication production or your current proofing system. It's the next step in the design-to-print evolution.
