Frequently asked questions
What is artwork approval software? +
Artwork approval software lets you send print or design artwork to a customer for formal sign-off. They approve the exact proof on a secure link, change requests are captured, and every approval is time-stamped — giving you a record before anything goes to print.
Does it help prevent costly reprints? +
Yes. Because the customer approves the specific proof and it’s logged with a timestamp, there’s a clear record of what was signed off — reducing disputes and reprints from “that’s not what I approved.”
Can I send multiple proof rounds? +
Yes — send a new proof whenever artwork changes, and keep each round distinct so the approved file is unambiguous.
How much does it cost? +
Free forever for 3 active approvals. Pro is £10/month for unlimited approvals, larger files and up to 50 approvers.
