In With the New
Under the old workflow system, the staff worked without access to the latest generation workstations and networking systems. There were no file naming conventions and no procedures or standards in place for back up or disaster recovery, putting valuable data at risk.
Hazelden's graphic design team also manually searched for required images and sent them along with Quark files to prepress vendors by overnight courier. The prepress vendors then made film and Matchprint proofs and sent them back to the organization by courier. Hazelden reviewed the proofs, marked up corrections and returned them back to the prepress vendors. The vendors made the corrections, reproofed and returned the materials back to Hazelden, who sent the proofs to the printer, while the prepress vendors sent film to the printer.
