How do special characteristics appear on the proof? (ex: transparency or kraft paper).

An online proof is a flat digital preview, so certain physical stock characteristics will not show up the way they look in your hands.

• Transparency: clear or frosted stocks appear on the proof as a normal opaque background. The see-through effect only shows on the printed piece.
• Kraft paper: the brown kraft tone and texture are not simulated on screen, so colors will look different once printed on kraft.
• Specialty finishes: effects like foil, spot gloss, or textured stocks are shown by placement marks, not a true render of the finish.
• What the proof does confirm: your layout, text, trim edges, and that nothing is missing.
