Does 4OVER4.COM provide proofs before printing?
Yes. 4OVER4.COM provides a digital proof so you can review your design before production begins. It is your last checkpoint before the job runs, so approve it carefully and look at every detail.
- Read all text closely for typos, wrong dates or transposed phone numbers.
- Check colors, keeping in mind that screen RGB can shift on a CMYK press.
- Confirm your artwork reaches the bleed edge and nothing important sits in the trim zone.
- Verify the final size, orientation and that images look sharp at full resolution.
The online proof is free and included with your order: after file review it is posted to your account and you receive an email when it is ready. Nothing prints until you approve, and if something is off you can reject the proof with comments or upload a revised file to get a fresh proof. You can also route the proof to a second email address if a colleague or client needs to sign off, and hard copy proofs printed on the actual stock are available at additional cost for color-critical jobs. Note that the on-screen preview is compressed to load quickly, so judge sharpness by your source file rather than the preview. The production timeline starts once you approve the proof, so a quick, careful review keeps your order on schedule.
