Question

What happens after I approve a free online proof?

Answer

Approving your free online proof is the final go signal. Once you accept the proof and approve the order, the job releases into production. Approval confirms the design, colors, and layout exactly as shown, and nothing prints until you give it.

  • Accept the free online proof and approve the order to release it to print.
  • Submission to production typically happens within a few minutes of approval.
  • Your job is manufactured and prepared for shipment based on the lead time you selected.
  • You receive confirmation and status updates by email as the order progresses.
  • If you instead choose Straight to Production, the order prints without waiting for proof approval.

Because approval sends the job to print, review every detail first. Options and turnaround vary by product and can change, so confirm the latest details on the product page or with 4OVER4 support.
