Artwork & proofs
Files move forward
with clear checkpoints.
Printing starts with the file. This workflow makes the review, correction, and approval path visible before anything reaches production.
Draft workflow · file transfer not connected- 01
Attach or transfer files
Supply print-ready PDFs when available. Larger or multi-file projects can be transferred after project review.
- 02
Preflight review
Haywood Printing checks the production essentials: size, bleed, image resolution, color space, fonts, and page count.
- 03
Proof and approval
The customer-facing proof checkpoint records what is approved before the job is released to production.
- 04
Production handoff
Approved artwork, the immutable HPTECH SKU, and the effective price record travel together.
Before upload
A practical file checklist.
These are guidance points, not an automated pass/fail gate. The team still reviews the file in the context of the actual job.

Proof status shell
One place to review what changed.
A future secure project link will show proof version, review notes, approval status, approver, and timestamp. Customer accounts are not part of this release, and no proof records or uploads are created in this draft.
