A Simple and Affordable Solution To Client Proofs

HENDERSON, Nev. - Feb. 17, 2014 - PRLog -- Having a client indicate artwork approval or changes can be challenging and time consuming.

Old fashioned Faxes and archaic email attachments can provide a client with a poor view of the print industry professional.  In addition, the client may find these formats a tedious and difficult way to explain and convey their required changes.

THOR USA, Inc. provides a more elegant, efficient and professional online approach.  Their new ProofAlert.com website provides simple tools for both art approval and revisions.

ProofAlert.com is aimed at business professionals that require clients to review artwork.  “For only $99.99 a year with unlimited small business use”, advised general manager, Sanford Diamond, “every business can now benefit from our easy to use proofing system”.

Industries that can profit from the use of Proofalert.com are: Advertising Specialty dealers, Graphic Artists, Paper Printers, Print Shops, Screen Printers, Trophy & Award dealers, Website Designers and more.

“The ProofAlert website was designed by graphic industry experts with input from working professionals” stated a company programmer.  “Many of the features we implemented were suggested by printers and dealers.   We made it simple, and not tech heavy, so non-computer people would feel comfortable using it.”

The company states that it only takes three steps for proofing.  From the ProofAlert.com website:

Professional Online Proofing System in 3 Easy Steps:
1. Upload a proof.
2. Your client reviews the image and approves it or advises changes.
3. You are notified that your client has submitted their proof info.
3A. If approved, you proceed with your client's products.
3B. If changes are needed, you upload a revised proof.

Features of the new website are numerous and include:
Standard file formats supported are jpg, jpeg, gif, png. ▪ Customized email notices and reminder emails. ▪ Proof approval requires an online signature. ▪ Administration site allows you to view your proofs and client comments. ▪ Customized with the printing company name and optional logo. ▪ Ability to enlarge and zoom to view detailed art areas. ▪ The end-user client can provide detailed instructions and comments to request needed changes.

What is most appealing to the professional is the ability of their client to advise changes to the art they are proofing.  ProofAlert.com has two key features for this.
1. Comment Box Area: the end-user client can position a resizable box over any portion of the image so the exact area that needs to be changed is clearly marked.
2. Comment Text Area: Works with the Comment Box to advise of changes.

THOR USA, Inc. states that ProofAlert.com offers faster completion of projects and improves collaboration by sharing comments online.   No special software is needed for the professional or their end-user clients.
