When you work with Radiant Printing, it's important to understand their proofing process to ensure that your artwork is correctly printed. In this article, we will explain the proofing process.

Submitting Artwork

The first step in the proofing process is submitting your artwork. Once you have submitted your artwork to the printing company, it will be reviewed by a project manager who will go through a quality assurance process to ensure that the file meets the printing requirements.

Quality Assurance Process

During the quality assurance process, the project manager will check the file type, resolution, and whether the artwork fits on the print template. Additionally, they will verify that all the fonts and images are embedded. If there are any issues that the printing company cannot fix themselves, the project manager will reach out to the customer to explain the issue.

If there are no issues, the file will proceed directly into production. However, if there is an issue that requires the customer's attention, the printing company will not proceed without approval from the customer.

What We Will Not Do

It's important to understand what the project managers will not do during the proofing process. They will not check the grammar and spelling in your artwork, nor will they perform a spot color check unless it's specifically requested. The project managers will not send print mock-ups, and once the order is sent to production, they cannot stop the process to update files.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the proofing process at Radiant Printing is an important step to ensure that your artwork is correctly printed. The process involves a quality assurance review by a project manager, who checks the file type, resolution, artwork fit, and the embedding of fonts and images. If there are any issues, the project manager will reach out to the customer for approval. By understanding the proofing process, you can help ensure that your artwork is printed correctly the first time.
