Proofing and Press Checking
Proofing
Prior to printing, COG Promo will send you physical PDF proof (if ordered). It’s imperative that the client checks this proof thoroughly before we proceeding to production printing.
PDF proofs are sent for all COG Print jobs as a formality and will offer a very close representation of what the end project will look like. These Digital Proofs are mostly used for faster project san flower cost jobs.
We understand that not all our clients can supply artwork that has been prepared perfectly for press (thats our job right?!), check out COG Print file guidelines for more information. If required, COG Print can convert supplied files for a minimal fee.
Prepress
This is checking our clients supplied files to make sure they’re set up correctly for production printing. COG Print carefully running thorough checks on artwork as if something goes wrong it’s no fun for our customers. We check our customers files for:
- Trim size specifications match the print order.
- Files are properly set up with correct bleed.
- Fonts are either outlined or supplied.
- Graphics are 300dpi
- Correct casting of the PDF
- Colour images and items are saved as CMYK.
COG Print will notify our customers and request a resubmission of artwork with any required corrections made. COG Print can convert your files to a print ready format for a minimal fee.
