- File Preparation: Send us your print-ready PDF. Not sure if your files are ready? We offer prepress review and can help with layout adjustments, bleed setup, and color correction.
- Proof Approval: We'll produce a digital proof (or a printed proof for color-critical projects). You review and approve before we go to press.
