Artwork Proof Approval Sheet and Round Log for Print Shops

Artwork Proof Approval Sheet and Round Log is an offline app (one HTML file in a zip) for the design and prepress desk of a print shop. Each job has a log of proof rounds: which version was sent, how, and what the customer answered. When the customer is happy, the job records who approved, on what date, and which five things they confirmed: text and spelling, phone numbers and prices, size, colours and quantity. The approval sheet prints with a signature line, and a round slip prints with the changes the customer asked for.

The problem it removes: A job is printed after a voice note that said "looks good". Later the customer says a phone number is wrong, or the colour is not what they expected, and nobody can show what was approved, by whom, or which version. This app makes the approval a record: no approved round, no confirmed checklist, no approved name, and the job cannot move to approved or sent to print.

What is inside:

• Jobs with product, size, quantity, colour mode, material and a status from Preparing to Sent to print
• A proof round log: round number, date sent, channel, outcome, changes asked for and who answered
• A five point checklist the customer confirms: text, contact details and prices, size, colours, quantity
• Rules: a job cannot be approved or sent to print without an approved round, the ticked checklist and a name and date
• Desk page: jobs waiting for the customer, jobs to chase, changes to make, and approved jobs not yet sent to print
• Printable approval sheet with signature lines and a printable proof round slip listing the changes asked for
• Example data you can load in one click, a Start here guide and an Honest limits panel
• JSON backup and restore, CSV export, and CSV import with a check of every row before anything is added

Who it is for: print shops, design desks and signage makers that send proofs by WhatsApp, email or in person and want a clear record of what the customer approved before printing.

What it is NOT: It does not store or display artwork files or proofs: it records the file name or version you enter. It does not send proofs, give legal protection, or replace your own terms. The approval wording is sample text that you must replace with your own wording. It is not legal, tax or accounting advice, it is not connected to any government system, bank or messaging service, and it does not file or send anything by itself. UAE e-invoicing is not part of it.

Verified by us: scripted tests in Chromium (122 checks through the real screens: adding, editing and deleting records in every table, required-field messages, backup then clear then restore, CSV export then import, keyboard order, print layouts rendered to PDF, no horizontal scrolling at 375 and 1280 pixels, no network requests) and an independent recalculation by a separately written Python evaluator of 415 calculated values (25 randomised rows plus the example data) with 0 mismatches. Safari engine (WebKit): smoke test passed. Not tested: Firefox beyond what is stated here, and no real printer was used (print layouts were checked as PDF).
