How do I approve a proof?
Choose “Review or changes before print” to receive a free digital proof by email. Review carefully and click “Approve” or send change notes; production starts only after approval. “Final artwork — print as supplied” receives a technical file check but no design changes or separate proof approval. The technical check is not a spelling, content, or design review.
How proof approval works
- For the review or changes path, we prepare your proof and email you a link.
- Open the proof on the proof portal and review every detail.
- Click Approve to send it to production, or reply with change notes.
- If you request changes, we send an updated proof for you to approve.
- Once approved, your turnaround begins.
What to check on your proof
- Spelling and numbers — names, phone, email, addresses, prices.
- Layout and bleed — nothing important too close to the trim edge.
- Colors — remember screens are RGB; see our color notes.
- Size and quantity — confirm they match your order.
Approving the proof confirms the file is correct, so take your time. Questions before you approve? Contact the studio.
