Step Four – Proofreading
Once we have the first proofs we will send them to you for proofreading. The main point of this is to give you the opportunity to thoroughly check that we have done what you have asked us to and to correct any typographical errors. Therefore precision and care should take precedent over speed, to ensure nothing is missed. When you have finished this, the proofs are returned to us and any corrections you have asked for are made. This is also when any acknowledgements are added to the proofs.
If necessary, we allow time for second proofs (if needed by you), final checks and passing for print. During this time we ensure we know all your requirements for printing, such as cover material and colour, crest/logo colour and any extras you may have chosen, such as spine blocking, ribbon markers or head & tail bands.
