Question
How long does it take for uploaded proofs to be reviewed and available for approval?
Answer
Once you upload your files, the prepress team checks them and posts a proof back to your account promptly, usually within about 10 minutes during business hours. You then review and approve that proof before the job moves into production.
- Turnaround on the proof is fastest when files are print-ready: correct dimensions, embedded fonts, and CMYK color.
- Files that need bleed added, low-resolution images flagged, or color mode converted may take a little longer to proof.
- Production time does not begin until you approve the posted proof, so approving quickly protects your delivery date.
- Check your account or email notifications so you catch the proof as soon as it is available.
