Digital BW, The Print

It might help to use the term "Printers Proof, or PP". This would more
closely resemble the proof print on the final paper just as the final print
would look. And in the portrait or commercial print world would be a "proof"
otherwise know to many as a test print or work print. That is the way I have
been using and working with those terms for my adult printing life.

Subject: [Digital BW] Re: What Is A Proof (was Why EEM...)

 

Hello Clayton. I doubt there is any hard and fast rule on this in any
event. There certainly was not in professional photography. It was
dependent on the purpose and market. In the B&W days,for portraits, it
was very common to "proof" on print out paper using a uv light
machine. I still have one (called a Blue Ray) that I've used for 
other purposes such as large format contact prints intended to be
toned. In color work, especialy with an in house lab, proofing with
the final paper was much more effective and required less work. In
commercial work, it could go either way dependent on client budget and
needs. You certainly didn't do "proofs" in dye transfer unless the
client specified it and was willing to pay full freight for it. The
same was true for print film display transparencies intended for
backlighting.

Regards
Duane
