What print shops usually want from a switch
How ProofForge works
- Step 1
Upload the artwork
Drop in a PDF, JPG or PNG up to 50 MB. ProofForge creates a job with version 1 and checks print readiness.
- Step 2
Send one proof link
Your client gets a branded link by email. No account, no login, no downloads — it opens in any browser.
- Step 3
Client marks up and decides
They drop pins on the exact spot that needs changing, or approve with their name (and optional signature).
- Step 4
Print with a clear record
Every view, comment and approval is timestamped in the job history, so you know exactly which version was signed off.
