| Proof Form |

The proofing process is very important to us. One tiny error or omission can ruin an entire project. We go to great lengths to proof every job for accuracy. What's even more important to us, however, is that our clients have a hand in the proofing process. After all, we're working with someone else's ideas. We feel that they should be the ultimate judge of their own project. So we've created an innovative online proofing system that allows you to view proofs without leaving your computer.

And to make it easier for you weave designed a *Preflight check list for you just to make it easier for what to look for

Corrections & Comments

The Proofing Stage
Printers frequently observe that job production goes awry once they hand proofs to clients. “Many clients do not do a good enough job checking proofs,” says Don Merit, industry consultant and American Printer contributing editor. “It’s either because they feel anything that’s bad can be fixed when they go on press OKs, or they just don’t know how to go about checking proofs.”

To ensure that the proofing stage doesn’t cause problems down the line, Merit advises giving customers tips on what to look for on proofs.

Questions clients should ask themselves include:

•	Does the proof accurately show what the job will look like on press?
•	Are there any typographical errors?
•	Are all of the pages there and in the correct order?
•	Are all the photographs in the correct place, properly scaled and cropped?
•	Have any image areas been masked or trimmed?
•	Have areas of critical color been accurately matched?
•	Have all of the corrections from the previous proof been made, and made correctly?
