Q: What types of proofs do you give? A: We can give you a proof as a PDF to your email (soft proof), print you out a copy (hard proof) or fax you a proof. These types of proofs are only for layout approval. If you would like to see how the colors will print the best way is to view a color proof from the digital iGen printer itself. We do not do color proofs or press checks for the offset press, as the colors will be the same as the Pantone Matching System (PMS) swatches.
