  6. What About Fonts?Information on collecting fonts can be found here. (Adobe Acrobat Reader is required)

  7. What is a "proof"?
    A proof is a way of ensuring that we have set your type accurately and that everything is positioned according to your requirements. Typically, we will produce a proof which will be sent to you online or printed on paper which can be viewed in our store or delivered to you in person.

    On multiple color jobs, we can produce a color proof on our color output device to show how the different colors will appear.

  8. Why do I need to look at a proof if I've already given you everything I need to have done?
    We employ human beings to produce your work and, last time we checked, humans are not perfect. Your approval on the final proof is assurance that you have looked over every aspect of our work and approve it as accurate. It benefits everyone if errors are caught in the proofing process rather than after the job is completed and delivered.

  9. Do I still need to approve a proof if I bring my work in on disk?
    Definitely!! In the rush to meet deadlines, it is easy to want to bypass the proofing steps. This is especially true when working with digital files. Even when we are looking at your file on the computer screen in its native application, it may not be exactly what you want!! Taking a little extra time prior to production by proofing will save alot of extra time (and money) later.
