Do I need to place an order to see an online proof?

Yes. In most cases you place an order first, and the proof is generated from that order. This is what lets the proof reflect your actual design and chosen specifications rather than a generic preview.

• The order is placed so a proof can be built from your real file.
• The proof shows your actual design, colors, and layout.
• It reflects the specifications you selected for the job.
• You review and approve it before production begins.
