Question

Will my hard copy proof be printed on the same paper as my final order?

Answer

Yes. The hard copy proof is printed on the same stock you selected for the order, so you judge real color, layout and paper together before the run. If you are still choosing between papers, a free sample folder helps you compare first.

  • Request the free sample pack on the free samples request form if you want to compare other stocks, weights, or finishes before you order.
  • The pack ships on its own, apart from print orders, so it cannot be added to an order you already placed.
  • Compare finishes side by side before you lock in the final specification for your order.
  • Use the hard copy proof to confirm design, color and the chosen stock in one piece.

The proof costs $75 on most products and is chosen at the proof step of your order.
