Common Pre-Press Questions


(01) Do I need a password to upload files? - Yes. New users need to contact your Interprint Representative and a password will be assigned to your account so you can login and upload your files.

(02) Once my files have been uploaded will I receive notification? - Yes. Once files have been successfully uploaded and your online proofs are ready to view, you will receive an email inviting you to review your proofs online.

(03) Do I need a password to review online proofs? - Yes. Login and password will be assigned to you so may access the online proofing area, and review your proofs.

(04) Do I need to approve each page of the online proofs? - Yes. Each page of your magazine or catalog will have its own proof to approve online. After you approve or reject each page, move to the next page until you have reviewed all pages.

(05) If I have changes at proof will I see another proof? - Yes. If you make changes on your proofs, you will see another proof before the project is printed.

(06) Do I really need to spend the time to review another proof after I submit changes? - Yes. It is VERY important to review all proofs during the proofing phase of your projects. Each round of proofing is just as important as the previous. Skipping the opportunity to review a proof can result in the project being printed with a mistake, which can result in your dissatisfaction in the final printed product. At Interprint, we want you to be happy with your finished product. We work quickly to show 2nd proofs in order not to slow down production and delivery times.

(07) What kind of proofs will I see? - At Interprint we provide three styles of proofs.

* Gerber Proof - Which is folded and trimmed to size.
* Epson Inkjet Color Contract Proof.
* Online Proof. - Upon customer request.

Unless specified otherwise, pricing includes one set of the above mentioned proofs to ensure your project is printed and bound to your satisfaction.

(08) Do I need to return the proofs or can I keep them? - All proofs must be returned to Interprint before we can print and process your order. The Epson Color Contract Proof is used at press to achieve the correct color during printing. The Gerber Proof which is folded and trimmed, is used during the bindery phase, to ensure correct pagination and trimming.



(C) How to place an order

(01) To place an order what's the first step? - The first step is to have your project quoted with Interprint. Once we receive your project specifications, a custom estimate will be generated and emailed or faxed directly to you, for your review and approval.

(02) After I submit the quotation what's next? - Once you have reviewed and accepted the quotation, please sign the quote and send it back to Interprint for production (via email, fax or USPS mail ). The production process is as follows:

1) Submit your files files via our FTP site or send us your files on CD or DVD.
2) You will receive color proofs to review and sign-off for Interprint to proceed.
3) The project will be printed and bound.
4) Once production is completed, your project will be shipped according to your needs.
