Document Summary
To build upon the proofing foundation developed in first year. To discuss the different types and qualities of proofs, including soft proofing. To understand how to evaluate a proof. A proof is a facsimile of the final printed product that should portray the finished result as accurately as possible in terms of content, size, and colour. Proofs are part of an important quality assurance process. Allows us to catch problems and correct mistakes which would be costly on press. There are several different types of proofs, including: Today, there are two main types of proofs that are used in the market: digital hardcopy proofs. Currently the most common type of proof: digital softcopy proofs (virtual proofing) Not as common as digital hardcopy, but gaining fast! Before ctp printing plates were created by exposure through plate ready film. Often, the same film was used to make plates was used to create an analog hardcopy proof.
