Question
What is the proofing process for print orders?
Answer
After your files are in, 4OVER4 posts a proof to your account so you can check the job before it goes to press. Free online proofs can be selected in the price calculator when you set up the order, and printing only moves forward once you approve the proof.
- Proofs are posted in your online account, usually shortly after the order is placed
- You get a notification, including by email, when the proof is ready to review
- Review the layout, text, spelling, image quality, colors, and bleed or trim for accuracy
- Approve it to release the job to production, which finalizes the order and moves it on to payment and printing
- If something is off, request a change instead of approving and a corrected proof is prepared for you
Because production waits on your approval, checking the proof promptly keeps your turnaround on track. Look especially at spelling, contact details, and anything near the trim edge.
