Offset Proofing process

It is not possible to make a finished sample when a book is offset printed. In lieu of a finished sample, we provide the following proofs for your approval.

Dummy proof:
A dummy is also called an unprinted mock-up. It is a made-up blank sample that uses the final printing paper stock and binding method. A dummy helps you check the interior paper, binding method cover paper, book thickness, and book size. It shows you how the final product will look and feel without printing.

EPSON proof:
EPSON proof is used to judge the quality of the images and the accuracy of the color. This is typically used to output "color-printed" book covers. If your book has color-printed text pages, It is recommended that we proof a few critical pages instead of the entire book.
