Proofing Variable Files
• A “proof” is a preview of your press-ready file, allowing you to
examine and confirm layout, text and content before your order goes
to press. We rely on your thorough inspection of the proof to detect
and correct errors. Orders will not go to press until we receive your
proof approval.
• We will provide a high resolution PDF proof file of 100 records output
from the data source (if you prefer a different quantity please let
your Project Manager know and we will accommodate)
