FirstPROOF will work with any Harlequin RIP. For CTP users in particular, FirstPROOF is a critical component of a modern computer to plate RIP workflow. With direct imaging of plate data before printing, FirstPROOF allows the user to check many things that were previously done with film, but with plates are no longer possible; for example with film one used to check the content, overlay film to check for moire, measure objects on film, rotate or mirror the film if required or make a chromalin from the film.

FirstPROOF Lite. Free scalable zoom for your Harlequin RIP.

FirstPROOF Standard. First PROOF Standard is an entry-level pre-press soft-proofing product that allows for easy tracking, viewing and checking of ripped jobs prior to output. When added to an existing Harlequin, Esko-Graphics, Presstek DI or TIFF RIP, it provides a sigificant improvement in proofing jobs before output.

FirstPROOF Professional. FirstPROOF Professional is a color accurate pre-press soft-proofing product built on top of FirstPROOF Standard that includes color accurate soft-proofing, a larger tool set and significant additional features. When added to a Harlequin, Esko-Graphics, Presstek DI or TIFF RIP, it provides a post-RIP workflow with a number of extremely sophisticated capabilities. The Color Management capabilities in particular, significantly removes or reduces the need for slow and costly hard-copy proofs. Support for Harlequin PGBs allows FirstPROOF to work with any Harlequin RIP, providing a tightly integrated workflow. Support for standard TIFF files allows FirstPROOF to connect to almost any high end RIP system.

Below are fully functional versions of FirstPROOF that will run in demo mode for 28 days at which time they will revert to running in Lite Mode (note that FirstPROOF Lite is built into FirstPROOF Pro). FirstPROOF Lite can continue be used for free as long as the product is installed on your computer.
