Sign off colour before it goes to press.
A contract proof is your guarantee that the finished print will look the way you expect. As a Fogra certified printer, our proofs are measured against the international ISO 12647-2 standard and stickered with the results.
What we produce
Our proofing service is offered as part of every litho job, and on its own for designers, agencies and other printers.
- Contract proofs for litho
- Proofs for designers and agencies
- Advance copies before a litho run
- Proofs up to SRA1
What makes a Fogra proof
Each proof is printed on Fogra accredited media with the Fogra media wedge printed alongside it. The wedge is scanned and must pass the ISO tolerance test.
Every proof then carries a sticker confirming it passed, with the results. That means you can rely on it for both content and colour, and the printed job will be an accurate reproduction of the designer's work.
