Troubleshooting

Approving proof not working

If you are having issues following the steps above, you can email your approval to service@homevisit.com and production@homevisit.com. Approving your print through the website is the preferred method as it will help prevent any possible delays. If you approve through email, there is a chance that it can cause you to miss a deadline if you are nearing the deadline time.
