It’s always a great day to receive and review proofs for a client project. For this project, I am the production manager and print broker. I also provided layout and co-design, separations for the color photos, and created the duotone files for the black and white photos. This book will be printed in 6 color offset. Time to package them up and send them off to for her final approval for offset printing.

It's amazing to review a nearly perfect set of Folded & Gathered (F&Gs). If you're not familiar with the term, F&Gs are the book's printed signatures that have been cut and folded but unbound. This is our last chance to review and approve before we proceed. We are honored to bring book “Deep Ruts” to life.

These are digital proofs for Julie Rae Powers forthcoming book, Deep Ruts. The book contains color and black and white photographs. We are printing in 6 color offset, CMYK + duotone + spot gloss varnish. This is PE’s fourth published book but the first with four-color and duotone photographs printed together and mixed within the same signatures. Jerry D Greer Mountain Trail Press
