contractor in conformance to the specifications. The Government assumes no contractual obligation to perform

tolerance to ISO 12647-7 standard for Graphic Technology (as of 2016 and future amendments) must be utilized.

Proofs must be ripped and sent at plate resolution (minimum of 2400 x 2400 dpi). If using a 1-bit tiff, the tiff must

be made at a minimum of 2400 dpi. Output must be a minimum of 2400 x 1200 dpi on a GRACoL or SWOP

certified proofing media. Proofs must contain both of the following to be evaluated for accuracy: 3-tier color

this proofing method must be provided by GPO, Quality Control for Published Products, to ensure that the final

product will be produced in accordance with contract specifications. See instructions at:

08413ff00001d133d.pdf. Failure to obtain this evaluation and approval may be cause for the job to be rejected

should the final product not match the proofs for color.

sheet. Control bars must be placed parallel to the press's ink rollers and must show areas consisting of minimum

production and shipment in accordance with the shipping schedule.

Government will approve, conditionally approve, or disapprove the proofs within THREE (3) workdays of the

receipt thereof. Date of receipt is NOT considered first workday. Approval or conditional approval shall not

relieve the contractor from complying with the specifications and all other terms and conditions of the contract. A

conditional approval shall state any further action required by the contractor. A notice of disapproval shall state

the reasons therefor.
