Before we can print any job, we need to make sure you are 100% happy, therefore we need you to ‘proof’ the artwork. The old saying goes “measure twice, cut once” it’s much easier to make changes at the proofing stage than after we’ve got a printed product.
We’ve suggested the key areas to check in the list below, we’d recommend (if you can) getting a friend to give it a once over too. It’s surprising how effective a fresh set of eyes can be at spotting mistakes.
Very often, we will retype or copy and paste information supplied when creating a proof. That’s why you need to check every element of the design to make sure it’s correct. And get a friend or colleague to have a read as well as when you’ve been staring at the same piece of artwork for too long you can start to miss things!
When you’re designing your product, it’s common to zoom in to check all the details. For example, when you view a business card, you might be zoomed in at 200%, meaning the text looks a lot bigger than it would in the final printed product. It’s a really good idea to zoom out and view your design at the final printed size (100%) to check that all the text is legible and easy to read.
If you’ve supplied us with your own pictures or logo, it’s worth checking that they’ll print clearly. Always use the highest quality pictures you can and avoid scanning existing printed products, like business cards, and using those scanned images for your design.
We’re talking same day collection fast on most products ordered before 12pm.
We’re not happy until you LOVE your product, so if you don’t love it we’ll fix it.
We’ll make sure you get the right product for you.
Since we’re humans who care about your project we’ll never just hit print, we wouldn’t feel right about it.
