Question
What is the difference between a sample and a hard copy proof?
Answer
A sample and a hard copy proof serve two different purposes, so it helps to know which one you actually need.
| Type | What it shows | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Sample | The paper or stock itself, printed or unprinted | Choosing the right material before you design |
| Hard copy proof | Your own artwork printed on stock | Confirming color and layout before a full run |
