Demonstrate the procedures for printing a proof to a monochrome and/or color printer, using page-layout software.
Demonstration should include the following steps:
- Define monochrome laser printer.
- Print monochrome copy (check contrast, relative size of type fonts, and location of images on page; proofread copy).
- Print color print (test for trap and choice of color; proofread copy).
- Adjust as needed.
Process/Skill Questions:
- Why is it important to produce a proof?
- What should be considered when reviewing a proof?
- What are the differences between printing to a monochrome printer and printing to an inkjet printer?
