Question

Why does my online proof appear blurry or low resolution?

Answer

The free online proof is displayed at low resolution for preview purposes only, which is why it can appear blurry. This does not reflect the final print quality, since your order is printed at full resolution.

  • Preview only: the proof is meant for reviewing content and layout, not judging sharpness.
  • Full-resolution print: your finished product is produced from your high-resolution file.
  • Specific concerns: if a particular element looks wrong, contact the team with details before approving.

For everything else, a soft-looking proof is normal and expected.
