Question

Why does my online proof look blurry? Will the printed product be high resolution?

Answer

A blurry or pixelated online proof is normal and does not reflect how the finished piece will look. The proof is displayed at low resolution so it loads quickly in your browser, while the job prints from your original high resolution file.

  • The on screen preview is intentionally low resolution for fast viewing.
  • Your final product is printed from the full quality file you uploaded.
  • As long as your files were not flagged as low resolution, they will print cleanly and sharp.

If you are still concerned about how the proof looks, you can reject it and add a comment explaining what worries you, and the team will review your files before anything prints.
