Question
What does a physical proof show?
Answer
A physical, or hard copy, proof is a printed sample of your design produced on the exact stock and specifications you chose, so you can judge the real result before committing to a full run.
- Shows true color as it prints on that specific material.
- Reveals the feel, thickness, and finish of the stock in your hand.
- Confirms how coatings or special effects such as foil or spot gloss actually look.
- Catches issues a screen preview cannot, such as ink density on textured or dark paper.
