Question

Is blurriness on the proof normal or should I be concerned about the final product?

Answer

A little blurriness on an online proof is normal and does not reflect how your final print will look.

  • Not a quality gauge: online proofs do not indicate the actual quality of the printed work.
  • What they show: they depict the trim edges and confirm that nothing is missing from your layout.
  • On-screen softness: low-resolution previews can look soft on screen even when your print file is crisp.
  • Real concern: if an element is genuinely low resolution in your file, that is worth fixing before you approve.
