Proofing

PLEASE NOTE: Without your written consent, Allegra Print & Imaging cannot print your order.

PLEASE EXAMINE THIS PROOF CAREFULLY FOR COPY, LAYOUT, SIZE COLOR BREAK, ANY AGENCY REGULATIONS. THE INFORMATION ON THIS PROOF APPROVAL, THE CONTENT AND ACCURACY OF THIS INFORMATION IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY. ALLEGRA ASSUMES NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE ACCURACY OF COPY OR LEGAL COMPLIANCE OF THIS PROOF. YOUR SIGNATURE IS OUR AUTHORIZATION TO PRODUCE THIS ART WORK AS REPRESENTED BY THIS PROOF. PLEASE VERIFY AND SIGN THIS PROOF APPROVAL. NO PRODUCTION WILL BEGIN WITHOUT SIGNED APPROVAL.

It’s your call! Before spending a significant amount of money, either on a large print or a large print run, we suggest you use our proofing services. This is especially true of colour critical work such as fine art reproductions or if you are not using a color managed work environment. Proof print prices are the same as the single 8×10 or 11×14 inch print size for the print media you choose. We recommend an 11×14 inch proof for larger size final prints. If adjustments need to be made, and additional proofs are required, they will be billed at the 2-4 volume discount price.

We will provide you with one free proof – fax or pdf file, a copy of what your finished order will look like, so you can view and approve your order before printing.

Usually we will contact you within two-three business days of your order, either with a proof or to collect any missing information.

We offer 3 different types of proofs:
• a black & white proof by fax
• a PDF proof via email*
• a printed colour proof** ($)

*Notes:
*A PDF proof is not suitable for colour reference since the colours vary from screen to screen.
One PDF or fax proofs are included with your order. Each additional proof is $15.
**A printed colour proof will give you a close approximation of the colours on the final product. Each printed proof is priced as a single print correlated to the proof’s print size and used media.

Important notes about colour
If you are unsure about the colours of your file, please provide a printed colour reference and ask for a printed colour proof. Though we cannot guarantee exact colour matching, If you provide a colour reference and request a colour proof, we can adjust your file to resemble your sample as closely as possible.

- If we are scanning your images for printing we also strongly suggest that you order a proof print.
- For fine art reproductions and colour critical work we strongly suggest that you use our proof services.

Note: A reasonable variation in colour between original materials, proofs and the completed order will constitute an acceptable delivery.

Proofing
Once you give final approval to your order, errors and/or omissions are not the responsibility of Allegra Print & Imaging. If you have us run your large format printing order without a proof print and you are not satisfied, we can not reprint your order free of charge.

Changes
Every change you ask us to make generates a new proof. Please communicate any changes by fax, email or in writing – we do not accept any verbal changes. Try to make changes all at once – after two proofs, additional charges will be incurred.

One contact person
To keep things simple and to avoid misinterpretation, we prefer to deal with one contact person for proofing and changes.
