frustrated

so I uploaded a proof that had the letters p r o o f imprinted lightly in the background of the sticker I needed printed. Never giving a thought that it wouldnt be removed before printing. however, now that I received the stickers it still says proof in the background of the sticker. quite horrified actually. I admit, I should have communicated and double checked with my proof editor, before going them the final approval. but figured it would be common sense...
