Proofs used to show entire flats of a job. Produced in layers of coloured acetate to match the process or spot colours, colour keys are tacked to the mounting paper on one edge only. This allows individual layers to be lifted for inspection. This kind of proof is not as colour-accurate as matchprints or cromalins. Also called colour proof.
Off-press transparent proofing system, specifically used for CMYK projects.
A printer's proof. It is four sheets of coloured acetate for examining the quality of process colour separations. This process is normally used when printing on a press capable of fewer than four colours at once. All AAs and corrections should have been made prior to seeing a colour key.
Pre-press colour proofing method using film overlays.
a colour value which is to be treated as if it were completely transparent
Color proofs in layers of acetate
A printer’s proof that consists of four sheets of coloured acetate that represents the color separation process for a particular job
A printer's proof usually used for viewing the individual layers of C, M, Y and K, four sheets of coloured acetate, for examining the quality of process colour separations.
