Digital artwork proofs include two pages, which can be confusing at first glance. Both pages display the same artwork, but the second page is used internally by our preproduction team. Sometimes that second page takes a little longer to load—don’t worry. If page one looks exactly how you want it, you can confidently click Approve.

What Each Page of Your Proof Means

The first page of your proof is what you should focus on. This page shows exactly how your artwork will print, including cut lines, safe areas, and bleed. The second page is only for our internal use and can be ignored during proofing.
