File Prep & Troubleshooting

A practical, buyer-focused checklist for reviewing commercial print files, proofs, cardstock, color, trimming, folds, special finishes, and delivered orders.

Use this practical print-proof checklist to review copy, dimensions, bleed, color, cardstock, folds, finishing, and the physical details a PDF cannot confirm.

Brand colors remain consistent when the color target, cardstock, print condition, finishing, proof, and acceptance method are all controlled—not when a CMYK formula is copied into every file.
