What is a hardcopy proof and when should I order one?

A hardcopy proof is a physical sample of your printed product that you can review before committing to a full production run, so you see exactly how the piece looks and feels in person.

It is worth ordering one when:

• You are trying a new or specialty product, such as lenticular printing.
• You want to confirm exact color and finish before a large run.
• The order is big enough that certainty is worth the added cost and time.

A hardcopy proof is a paid add-on, and the exact cost is shown during the ordering process. Order one when you want full confidence in your design before a large print run.
