We use the ROOM workflow, still haven't found the NORM workflow to be competitive in our environment.
As far as RamProof PDFs (yes...a jpeg with a PDF wrapper), we have used that exclusively for sending post-rip RASTER proofs to our customers for years...with little complaints.
Our settings :
PDF JPEG
Resolution : 300
Max AA : 4
Quality : 75
Typically gives us 1-2mb files for our pages.
Seems to be the best trade off for readability and file size for us.
We typically send a tagline with the proofs like this:
PDF note:
The attached or referenced PDF file has been generated from our workflow system.
It is adequate for proofing purposes only. (it is NOT optimized for other distributions)
This is essentially a compressed 300 DPI CMYK JPEG (raster) file of your final page in a PDF document.
Sometimes a problem exists that prevents proper printing of this file from a Macintosh system.
Setting your print dialog, acrobat setting to print "as image" rather than "postscript" should resolve the problem.
