What is a physical proof and how do I order one?

A physical proof is a printed sample of your product that you review in hand before committing to the full print run, so you are judging real ink, stock, and finish rather than a screen preview.

• What it is: an actual printed piece, not an on-screen image.
• How to order: choose the next-day physical proof option during checkout.
• Why it helps: you confirm true color, material, and quality before the full quantity prints.

Approve the physical proof once it matches your expectations, then the rest of the order proceeds.

Yes, 4OVER4 offers physical proofs for an additional fee. A physical proof is requested separately after you have reviewed the online proof.

• Accept the online proof for your order first.
• Request to view and purchase a physical proof separately.
• Contact customer support for pricing and availability on your item.

A physical proof is worth the extra cost when you need to check the actual paper, finish, or color before committing to a full run.
