Approving Your Proof
Proof Approval- Yes, It's Required

We cannot send any job to press without your approval of the proof. This is for your protection as well as ours. As electronic files are transferred over the internet, they can become corrupted, fonts substituted, images swapped. We don't want you to receive any surprises when you receive your final printed product, so please take the time to thoroughly inspect the proof before you give your approval. Please, don't hesitate to contact us with any questions!

You should receive your online proof within one business day after we receive your electronic files.
  • Hard copy mock-ups and hard copy proofs will be overnighted via Next Day Air generally the same day we post your online proof.
  • When your online proof is ready, we will email you a link to the proofing page. We will also try to reach you by phone. In addition to the email link, proofs can be accessed through the Order Status page.
There are two versions of your proof on the proofing page:
  • Proof PDF or JPG Image: A low-resolution version of your file at final trim size, down-sampled for shorter download times. Includes fold line indicators when appropriate. Recommended for dial-up connections.
  • Press-Ready PDF: This is the full-resolution file which will be used to create your plates. Includes .125" bleed margins, order number and printer's marks which will not appear in the finished trimmed piece.
    - Your text may falsely appear jagged in the full-size (zoomed out) PDF. The inability to accurately preview vector text is a known weakness of Adobe Acrobat.
    - Select the magnification tool and zoom in to the text. It should now preview clear and crisp; this is how it will print. If it still appears jagged when zoomed in, contact us.


  1. If you find something that needs correction, click the button.
    • Corrections are billed at $10 each. We will fix up to four typos for the price of a single correction.
    • If the problem is something that PrintingForLess.com has accidentally introduced, the corrections will naturally be free of charge.
    • Please be very specific with your correction descriptions.
    • If you find more than four major corrections, it will be less expensive for you to make the corrections yourself and upload new file(s) using the button.
  2. If you are ready to send your order to press, click the button to approve your proof.
  3. Complete the approval process by confirming or adjusting your production speed, shipping method and delivery addresses on the interactive delivery date calendar.
    You're in control of your order! You can:
    • Speed up or slow down your production speed
    • Speed up or slow down your shipping speed
    • Change shipping addresses
    • Add additional shipments
The InstaPrice calculator will display the adjusted order total for any changes selected. Some tips:
  • Experiment with various combinations of production speeds and shipping methods.
  • Split your shipment if you need only a portion of your order faster.
  • It is often more cost-effective to upgrade shipping rather than production.
Follow the steps to add additional addresses or modify existing addresses, and be sure to click .
