The last proof for correction before sending to press.
A proof taken on a press, esp. to show impression, margins, color, etc.
A copy obtained from inked type, plate, block or screen for checking purposes; a reasonably accurate sample of how a finished piece is intended to look. Also, to check for consistency and accuracy.
A test printing of a subject prior to the final production run. Press proofs are generally printed on the paper stock that will be used for the finished project. A few sheets are run as a final check before printing the entire job. Also known as a "proof."
A method of producing a printed copy of a map or other image for the purpose of inspection and approval. Press proofs are made on a printing press using the same plates, inks and paper which will be used to print the final product. Although the best method to see exactly what the final product will look like, it is also the most expensive and least practical because if a correction or change is required then new negatives and printing plates will have to be produced.
A sheet of paper used as reference while printing.
Finished press sheets taken from the actual production run to check image, tone and color before final printing.
press sheets showing the image (practice sheets) made before the final printing process.
A printed proof run on a the same or similar press to the one on which it will be printed using the actual inks, images and paper that will be used for the job
Reproduction of original material which is prepared and run on a production or proofing press using the inks and papers similar to those to be used in the final reproduction.
PROOF made by creating plates and running a job on press. Used as a last-minute check before the entire job is printed. Ideally, the press proof should match the contract proof.
Actual press sheets to show image, tone value and color. A few sheets are run and approval received from the customer prior to printing the job. to top
A proof that is furnished from the press run folded to size. Most often used in book production.
a proof from the printing press, plates, and actual inks
A press proof is a a printed proof that has been run using an actual printing press and commercial printing inks. This is generally done immediately prior to running the actual job.
A sheet of paper that has exited the press and is used to check for the accuracy of color.
A proof made on the actual production press with the paper and ink specified for the job; used to show exactly how the publication will look when printed.
(PP) Off press proofing can be useful in predicting quality of materials prior to production printing. Small quantities of ink and small sheet sizes can be studied quickly for physical and optical performance properties.
Proof made on press using the plates, ink, and paper specified for the job. Also called strike off and trial proof.
A few sheets are run off the press for a final proof.
A proof made on a regular press after color separations are complete to check color before full run is made.
A proof which is made on a regular press with the finished plates or cylinders to check color before the full run is made.
Achieved by printing a small run on press under actual production conditions using board stock and ink colors as specified for the job.
Proof of a color subject made on printing press in advance of the production run.
A printing test before the final production, run on the specified paper. Provides the best simulation of the results that may be expected with the final job.
A printing test of the actual job before the final production run. Press proofs are generally printed on the paper stock that will be used in order to see how the images will appear on the sheet.
A map proved on a printing press or taken from the first printed copies for editing purposes.
The final colour proof from your printer to verify colour and printing quality.
Proof made on press using the plates, paper, and ink specified for the job.
A final color proof made on a printing press to verify color and printing quality.
A short press run for approval by the client prior to the actual production run. It uses the specified paper, inks, dies, etc. for the press operator to "run to" or match in the actual run.
Viewing a sample of a printed piece while it is being printed. Press proofs are typically used only for complicated jobs that may require press adjustments to achieve the desired level of quality.
A proof to indicate the appearance of a colour subject printed on a printing press.
