- All 3 rules are editable in the Logic tab, and the built-in checker warns about rules that contradict each other.
About this template
Print mistakes often begin before a press is running: a finished size is confused with an artwork size, a two-sided job is quoted as single-sided, or a deadline means delivery to the customer rather than completion at the shop. This form makes those assumptions visible during intake. Customer and project details lead into the product type, quantity, finished dimensions, paper preference and color specification, giving the estimator a useful production starting point. Finishing requests sit alongside the core specifications so folding, binding or trimming is not discovered after the quote. An artwork section distinguishes supplied files from jobs needing design help, and a proof preference records how the customer wants to review the output before production. The final page captures the required date, pickup or shipping arrangements and the person authorized to approve the proof. A signed acknowledgment explains that file review, a final estimate and approval still sit between submission and printing. This template serves local print shops, studio production desks and in-house teams managing defined jobs. It does not perform preflight checks, certify reproduction rights or guarantee a color match from a screen preview. Staff should resolve bleed, resolution and proof questions with the customer using the shop's actual production requirements.

Frequently asked questions
