11:Please note after viewing the "Mock up" that you are signing off the job and authorizing ngentry.com  to go ahead and hand paint  your job. Although I keep checking carefully through all stages of production, you (the client) take responsibility if there are any errors in the final job that are on the proof. My responsibility is to ensure the hand painted job matches the signed off proofs, of which I have a copy.

The signatory accepts responsibility for proofing all the artwork accurately. ngentry.com can not accept responsibility for corrections not implemented and/or requested at artwork stage. Any modification requested after client approval of artwork may result in production delays and/or additional expenses which must be approved by the client before production.

*************HOW TO CHECK A PROOF ***********************

Please use the advice which follows, advice which is borne out of much experience, to guide you in checking your proof. Checking and signing off a proof is a solemn responsibility! Your attitude towards checking a proof is critical. Here are some points on the attitude you should adopt when checking a proof.

 • Attention to detail is the key to checking a proof.

• Check the WHOLE proof even if it is a reproof, and even if there were only a couple of minor changes.

• DO NOT focus only on one aspect of the job — for example, the text and not the colours, or the images and not the text. Always check headings carefully.

• Try to look at the proof as if you have never seen the job before.

• If possible, have someone unfamiliar with the job to check the proof as well.

• Are there any typographical errors?

• Are there any spelling errors (pay particular attention to headlines)?

• Is there anything missing from the job — logos, lines of text, boxes, borders, lines?

• Are graphics positioned, cropped and scaled correctly?

• Enlarge the job to 400% and check that graphics are sharp and not jagged. They will print more or less as you see them.

• Are the various elements of the job the right way up?

This is particularly important in the case of greeting cards.

• Are the various elements in the job correctly aligned?

 • Are the colours correct?
