Is the contents of the final proof and the press plate is the same ?
Is the contents of the comprehensive layout, the previous sample and output data that is RIP processed in your company is the same ?
Is the contents of the individual pages and a sheet with paginated images is the same ?
Was it corrected following the right instruction ?
Are you sure that you didn't edit the correct part ?

Just drag and drop the folder and the inspection will begin automatically
HallmarkCenter inspect automatically through the hot folder.
During the inspection, if HallmarkCenter detects files with the same name, it will automatically adds in prefix to indicate the target and the reference files.
So what if the filenames are not related ?
It's still posibble to inspect automatically with CTM (Option)
There are cases where it is impossible to inspect individual pages with a sheet of paginated images automatically due to reason like...
-
The filenames are not related.
-
Because of blank pages, the order of the pages will be different
-
There are no comprehensive layout in the middle of the page
CTM can set the page information from a pattern of fold to individual pages. this way CTM does not need related filenames to identify between individual pages and a sheet with paginated images. CTM will send the order file to HallmarkCenter and HallmarkCenter will follow the order and begin inspection automatically.Also, HallmarkCenter will output the inspection result for each sheet.
