When your proof is ready you'll get an email, and the order shows Action needed in your account under Orders.
- Open the order and choose Approve proof.
- Check the proof carefully — front and back. Use the Trim and Bleed overlays to see exactly where the paper is cut, and zoom in on text and logos.
- Read the pre-flight notes beside the proof: anything we fixed automatically or want you to double-check is listed there. (Understanding pre-flight notes)
Choose one of three actions:
- Approve & send to production — printing starts immediately and the file can no longer be changed.
- Upload new artwork — replaces your file and generates a fresh proof (this can shift your delivery date).
- Chat about this artwork — unsure about anything? Ask us first.
Mind the approval deadline shown beside the proof — approve in time to keep your delivery date. (What if I miss it?)
