    The daily proofing headache

    Clients replying to the wrong email thread
    Vague feedback like "move that bit up" with no location
    Reprinting because an old version was approved
    Staff asking "has this been approved yet?"
    Spelling mistakes and missing dielines found after printing
    No audit trail when a customer disputes a job

    How print shops use ProofForge

    1. Step 1

      Upload and check the artwork

      Drop in a PDF, JPG or PNG up to 50 MB. AI print-readiness checks flag spot colours, dielines, cut contours and possible spelling mistakes for your team to review.

    2. Step 2

      Send a branded proof link

      Your client gets a link showing your logo and colours — not ours. No account, no login, no downloads; it opens in any browser.

    3. Step 3

      Client pins exact changes

      They click the spot that needs changing and type the note, so your designer sees precisely what to fix. Upload a new version and they compare it side by side.

    4. Step 4

      Timestamped sign-off, then print

      The client approves with their name and optional signature. Every view, comment and approval is timestamped in the job history, so you know exactly which version was signed off.

    Questions

    What is print proofing software?

    It replaces emailing PDFs back and forth. You upload the artwork once, the client reviews it online, marks changes on the file and approves it, and the shop keeps a record of who approved which version and when.

    Do my clients need an account?

    No. Clients open the proof link in any browser, with no login or download.

    Will it work with my existing print workflow?

    ProofForge handles the proof and approval step. Upload the file you’d normally email, then carry on with your usual prepress and production once it’s approved.

    How much does it cost?

    A$29 per month plus A$5 per extra seat, with a 14-day free trial and no credit card needed to start.

    How fast can I start?

    Most shops send their first proof within a few minutes of signing up.
