Why are signed proofs better than screen-only approvals?

Summary

Signed proofs offer accurate color reference, unlike screens.

Signed proofs are better than screen-only approvals because they provide a tangible reference for color accuracy. Screens can vary in color display, leading to discrepancies between digital designs and printed materials. By using signed proofs, brands can see exactly how colors will appear on the final product, reducing the likelihood of color shifts. This approach also provides a clear record of approval, which can be referenced if any disputes arise during the print production process. It ensures that the final product meets the brand’s high standards for color consistency.
