Virtual Proofs
Due to the inherent nature of most monitors (varied calibrations, color management, varying degrees of brightness and resolution) the actual imprint color(s) and imprint location will vary with actual production. Most virtual samples are a visual guide and may not reflect the exact imprint placement for the actual production run. A true representation for your design is an actual preproduction proof.
Proofs
PDF artwork e-mailed proofs are included with every order at no charge. Proofs demonstrate exactly how your order will be produced relative to placement, size and copy on your chosen item. Your order will be produced as proofed unless otherwise notified in writing. Please pay particular attention to spelling, phone numbers, size and positioning of your layout. Written approval must be submitted before production will commence. Any delay in returning your art approval may result in a revised shipping date.
