Printed Hard Proof
The Printed Hard Proof is mini print of your graphic files. Proofs can include a small to-scale section of your graphic file to approve resolution and special graphic effects. Hard proofs are printed on the same press using the same material as the finished product. Hard proofs are shipped overnight for your approval.
