The digital reproduction of an image or page onto a paper or plastic substrate. Eliminating the use of film. Some image actual halftone dots at full resolution, like the Kodak Approval and the Fuji Final Proof. Others, like the Iris, do not.
A digital proof is a color prepress proofing method where a job is printed from the digital file to an inkjet, color laser, dye sublimation printer, or thermal wax printer to give a good approximation of what the final printed piece will look like. The digital proof is generally less expensive than other proofs that use the printing press and inks.
Data producing a color image on paper which has the look of the final product before is it printed.
PrintsMadeEasy provides digital proofs in PDF format so that you can print out a copy of your artwork before placing an order.
An off-press color proof produced from digital data without the need for traditional separation films.
A proofing system that does not include the use of film. Data is sent to a printer and imaged directly onto a paper. After the digital proof is approved, the same file used to create it is sent to the film processor, which creates the film used in the printing process.
Color separation data is digitally stored and then exposed to color photographic paper creating a picture of the final product before it is actually printed with ink.
A proof produced by means of a special printer that is designed to simulate, as closely as possible, the behavior and color of a printing press. A digital proof is produced without using film; hence, sometimes called a "filmless proof."
Electronic files are replacing film in the prepress workflow. Color proofs are generated directly from digital data, allowing jobs to be proofed early during design stages, without producing film first.
A digital picture of the final print product created before actual printing submitted to the client for approval
Refers to proofs made directly from digital data. NOT analog film.
Digitaalivedos Digitalt förprovtryck A prepress colour proof that is imaged directly from digital data without the intermediate of film and contact exposure.
A proof made directly from the digital art file.
A proof output direct from the computer without first going to film, therefore colours are not 100% accurate.
A proofing system that does not include the use of film. Data is sent to a printer and imaged directly onto a paper-based material. There are several limitations of a digital proof: 1)they do not use the film that will be used to produce plates, and thus are open to interpretation of the output device, 2)few of these devices print in the same dot pattern as is utilized in the printing process, and 3)the ink utilized in these printers is not representative of the inks used in the printing process and can show a vast color range and density not attainable on a printing press.
