Production recommendations
- Do not reuse a 9FIFTY preview: Customers who ordered a 9FORTY notice a flat-brim 9FIFTY proof.
- Name the model in the file: Keep 9FORTY, 9FIFTY, and 59FIFTY on separate proofs.
- Sample the blank: Starting sizes are conservative. Approve one decorated 9FORTY.
Frequently asked questions
- Is a 9FORTY the same as a 9FIFTY?
- No. Print Laser Pro keeps separate pages so the proof matches the New Era model on the order.
- Where do I start the trial?
- This page and the New Era brand page both open the same 7-day Print Laser Pro trial.
