Question

What are my options for color-accurate proofs?

Answer

For color-critical work, 4OVER4 offers two kinds of proof: the free online proof for layout and content, and a hard copy color proof printed on your chosen stock so you can judge real color in hand.

Proof typeBest forCost
Free online proofLayout, text and file checksFree
Hard copy color proofJudging color, stock and finish in hand$75 on most products, UPS next day shipping included
Hard copy proof of a multi-page book, or of a die-cut cut to its real shapeChecking pages, binding or the actual cut$150

The hard copy option appears in the price calculator when the product offers it. Approve the online proof first, then the hard copy is printed and shipped to you.
