Proofing

Color proofs should be submitted with digital files, and they should be printed at 100 percent.  In absence of paper proofs or unacceptable proofs, AvidGolfer is not responsible for the color reproduction.

Digital color calibrated proofs that meet SWOP standards should be used for digital ad materials.  Black-and-white laser proofs are acceptable with color ads, but AvidGolfer cannot guarantee accurate color with such submissions. In cases when proofs cannot be supplied at 100 percent, please clearly indicate at what percentage the proof is printed.
