JessXEmoji 46 Posted July 14, 2014 Spent part of the day speaking to a customer online for a custom order. Once we settled on eveything they asked to get a poof before they buy it. And i had already told them I would make a listing on etsy for them. You think they want high quality proof to copy? Ive never had luck on custom orders they always never respond after I show them the final product. Kinda tired of wasting my time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wildgoose 4,200 Posted July 14, 2014 I wouldn't send anything high quality. Put a water mark over the top and send them a normal pic nothing fancy 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

slice&dice 2,450 Posted July 14, 2014 Low-res JPG is what I've sent via email to clients, and they are fine with that. (SignBlazer easily exports low-res JPG and it's never been a problem with a customer to see and approve) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FrznFire07 217 Posted July 14, 2014 we do watermarked and secure pdf documents (password protected) so the only thing you do is open the image, you're not allowed to edit or even print the document. it's not fool proof, but it gives us the option to send high quality proofs that cannot be edited or printed. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This would explain why so many do a screen capture and print it out. Like you said though nothing is 100% secure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Like you said though nothing is 100% secure. yea print screen is definitely a problem for us. but at least whoever copies it, sees watermark & disclaimer, and if they still copy it they have to go through the work to re-draw it.

jaybyrd 3,770 Posted July 14, 2014 Shame is they'd throw a fit if somebody did that with 1 of their proofs. Whenever somebody brings me something like that I try to get them to let me do something similar but not that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
