Double checking specs
Business documents are usually being mailed to and from other
offices, whether locally or even abroad. Meeting the required
deadlines is a hassle the people preparing these documents have
to endure. In their haste, mistakes are most likely to occur. It
may be in the content itself or in the presentation. Whatever it
may be, only one thing is certain. They have to be corrected
before sending.
The scenario: the FedEx guy already waiting impatiently while
you try all you can to correct errors in the document. With
pressure as a booster, you pushed your limit. The outcome:
successfully correcting errors in crucial parts of the document.
Another is making it worst that than it originally was. Either
way, the FedEx person would be too impatient to wait, leaving
you with no other alternative for fast delivery. There goes your
deadline. With it went your promotion.
Here are just some specifications of printed jobs that needed to
be double-checked ahead of time.
Number of copies. The number of copies equals the content of the
printed job. Making sure everything is in order is more valuable
time compared to having to look later on when time is not
anymore an option.
Delivery date and time. Putting into mind the time and date of
the delivery to avoid rush and last minute preparations.
Situations like this usually end up forgetting something while
preparing another. Also saves you the trouble of having to
endure to deadly stares and swears of the delivery person.
Colors. The colors in prints do not always turn out the same as
the colors you see in the monitor. Printing directly, with the
thought that what you see is what you are getting can lead to
disappointment. Best check prints during and immediately after
printing. What may appear as a masterpiece on screen may turn
out an abstract or worst.
Binding options. Getting a presentable document reflects the
kind the people and the company sending it. Some people are
meticulous appearance-wise and makes judgment from first
impressions. It is always better to make an impression,
preferably good, first-hand.
People can be saved a lot of time and energy if these things are
done in advance. Cramming and time pressure may be sure means of
effectiveness to some but not all are capable of doing this.
Preparing especially important documents can make or break the
company. Small errors can make major disasters. Everything is up
to the persons responsible. It would not be an understatement to
say that the future of businesses and companies lies in the
hands of the people preparing these documents. And the prints.
