Proofs
A proof is a single sample of your copy request for color and layout purposes only. The Copy Center is not responsible for errors in grammar, spelling or content. The requestor must ensure that the document is accurate and correct prior to submission for duplication.
Please submit a copy request and indicate that you need a proof. Proofs follow the same submission guidelines and timeframes as regular copy request submissions.
