Print and production.
WHERE IT HELPS
Quotations from your own rates Proof approval communications Explaining file requirements to customers Content about what you produce
THE FILE PROBLEM
Most print jobs are delayed because customers supply the wrong files.
"Write a guide explaining what file format and resolution we need, for a customer who is not a designer."
That single document saves substantial back-and-forth.
FOR PROOF APPROVAL
"Write a proof approval message stating that the customer must check spelling, dimensions and colour, and that we print exactly what is approved."
Get it in writing. Print disputes almost always involve an unapproved change or an unchecked proof.
FOR QUOTATIONS
Supply your rates. Ask for structure and an exclusions list: design time, amendments, delivery.
