The production notes
BEFORE THE ARTWORK HANDOVER.
Confirm the actual dimensions, quantity, intended use and requested artwork format with the print provider.
Begin with the actual specification.
Confirm dimensions, quantity, intended use, materials and the actual provider’s requested artwork process. A website image is an illustration, not an approved production file.
Keep the approval connected.
The actual job agreement identifies proof, revisions, approval, costs and delivery responsibilities. Necessary private or copyrighted artwork uses the appropriate authorized handover.
