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.
Artwork review process- 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 confirmed product selection, and the effective price record travel together.
