Why does my proof look low-resolution when my original artwork is high-quality?

The proof is displayed at a lower resolution for faster viewing and easier file management, which is why it can look low-quality even when your original artwork is not. The proof resolution and the print output resolution are two separate things.

• Preview vs print: the proof is a compressed preview. The print is produced from your full-resolution file.
• The green light: if your files uploaded without any errors, the final product prints at full quality.
• No action needed: a soft-looking proof from a clean upload does not require re-uploading.

Your high-quality artwork will carry through to the finished piece.
