How to get print artwork approved before it goes to print

Keep the artwork on the job with a version number, and get the customer to approve that exact version before printing. The approval stays attached to the order, so the team prints the approved file, not whatever is in the chat.

1. Take the order and the advance

Write down the item, the size, the quantity and the due date, and note any advance paid by UPI or cash.

2. Attach the artwork as version one

Put the file on the job and call it version one. Every later change gets the next version, so nobody has to guess which file is current.

3. Send the customer one link on WhatsApp

Instead of sending files back and forth, send one link. The customer opens it in a browser. There is no app to install and no password.

4. Let the customer approve with a one-time code

The customer confirms it is them with a one-time code, looks at the proof, and either approves it or asks for a change.

5. Replace the file if the customer wants a change

Upload the new file as the next version. The old version stays on the job, marked as replaced, so you can always see what was asked for and when.

6. Print the approved version

The team prints the version marked approved. The approval sits on the order with the version and the time.

7. Mark the job ready and tell the customer

When the job is printed and checked, mark it ready. The customer can see on their link that it is ready to collect.

8. Invoice from the job and take payment by UPI

Make the invoice from the same order and record the payment against it. For jobs that leave the shop, a delivery challan goes with the goods (Max plan).

Where Tuskit fits

This is how Tuskit works for print and signage shops: the artwork sits on the job with its version and status, the customer approves through Tuskit Link with a one-time code, and the approval stays with the order. The invoice follows from the same job, with a receipt for each payment.
