Print Approval Form

Please review the final artwork carefully. Your approval will indicate acceptance of materials including responsibility for errors, omissions, and legal and ethical compliance. If we are printing this project and if a rerun is necessary due to overlooked error(s) in this final document, you assume all responsibility and charges.

Once your file goes to the printer, you will get a proof before the final printing stage. Proofs are created to ensure that the client and printer are in complete agreement on the desired outcome before going to press.

A soft proof is an electronic file, such as a PDF, created to simulate the appearance of the finished printed piece. It will be identical to the pdf you are currently approving. We provide a soft proof for every print project. Although this is the fastest and most economical option for proofing, it does not represent final colors, folds, or page order.

If your project is more complicated, or if color accuracy is imperative for your project, you should request a physical printed sample known as a hard proof. This hard proof will be mailed to check folds, color, pagination, along with grammar and imagery layout. Once approved, it is sent back to the printer to reference at the time of printing.

Please be aware that there is an extra charge for a hard proof, and it will increase the lead time of your project. While every effort is made to ensure your printing accuracy, Vivid Image can’t accept responsibility for color inconsistencies, folds, and pagination between supplied files and the printed result without a hard proof.

THIS FORM MUST BE SIGNED & SUBMITTED TO VIVID IMAGE BEFORE PRINTING CAN PROCEED.
