Are digital proofs really free?

A digital proof is an on-screen preview of your job as it will print, and reputable online printers commonly provide one at no extra cost before production starts. It is the last checkpoint to catch problems while changes are still free.

• You review layout, colors, text, and positioning against your original file.
• You then approve the proof or request changes before anything goes to press.
• It is the simplest way to catch typos, cropping issues, and low-resolution art before they turn into costly reprints.
• A digital proof shows layout and content but cannot perfectly represent final ink color, so pair it with soft proofing for critical color.
