Virtual Proof Print (VPP) on Flatmount for corrugated plate mounting
In corrugated trade shops, time is money—and wet proofing on the mounting machine is one of the biggest hidden time drains. In many key markets it’s still “how it’s done”: the operator mounts, then runs a wet proof on a proofing drum/paper, color by color, to confirm positioning and readiness before shipping mounted plates on mylars to the corrugater.
VPP (Virtual Plate Proofing) on Flatmount changes that.
Instead of relying on manual wet proofs, VPP automatically scans the mounted plates and verifies the result digitally—with no operator proofing time involved. The scan is automatic, the check is consistent, and the whole workflow is shorter.
What VPP changes in the trade shop workflow
- Wet proofing reduced or eliminated: no more operator-driven proofing drum steps per color.
- Minutes saved per color: the “proof–adjust–proof again” loop disappears or shrinks dramatically.
- Automatic scanning = no extra hands: verification happens without tying up an experienced operator.
- Faster turnaround to the corrugater: mounted mylars ship sooner, with confidence.
- More predictable output: fewer last-minute surprises, less rework, fewer delays.
Where the ROI really comes from
The biggest payback isn’t just “better quality” - it’s labor and throughput:
- Wet proofing consumes operator time per color and blocks the mounting machine.
- VPP shifts verification to an automatic, repeatable scan, shortening the job cycle and freeing capacity.
VPP on Flatmount helps trade shops move from “proofing to be sure” to “verified by default.”
Less manual work. Shorter lead times. Same (or better) confidence when the corrugater loads the job.
