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?
