Proofs may be compressed versions of the original production file. Compression can make the proof appear lower in resolution.

The proof is intended for reviewing the text, spelling, placement, and layout. Its appearance does not reflect the print quality of the finished product.

You may request changes by replying to the proof email or by contacting our customer service team.

We recommend submitting changes in writing whenever possible. Written instructions provide a clear record of the requested revisions and make it easier to include visual examples or marked-up proofs.

Minor changes may be discussed by phone, but detailed changes are generally handled more accurately and efficiently by email.

The first two proofs are included. Beginning with the third proof, an additional charge of $20 per proof may apply when the revisions are not required because of an error on our part.

Proofs for business checks are password-protected to help protect sensitive information.

The password is usually included in the proof email. For assistance, contact our customer service team at 1-888-309-5267 or email [email protected].
