A proof is a one-time copy of your printed document. It’s used for visual inspection to ensure that the layout and colors of your document are exactly as they are intended to be.

Question 2

What is large format printing?

Accepted Answer

Large format printing uses specialized printers to create a variety of oversized items such as custom banners, posters, canopies, table throws, and more. This type of printing is long-lasting and especially durable, making these objects able to withstand all types of weather conditions.

Question 3

What is a full bleed?

Accepted Answer

A full bleed is when the printed ink extends all the way to the edge of the paper, leaving no white margins. This is commonly seen in brochures, flyers, and more, especially when the final product won't be cut or cropped to its final size.

Question 4

What are Pantone colors?

Accepted Answer

Pantone colors, also known as PMS colors, refer to the Pantone Matching System. This reference is used by the printing industry and identifies specific colors by a unique set of letters and numbers (ex: Pantone 1235 C). By using this standardized system, it ensures that the colors on your document appear the same across all print and digital devices and will look consistent throughout each print run.
