Cardboard Food Gift Boxes Comparison of traditional proofing and digital proofing techniques

Traditional proofing digital proofing

The color of the relative printing effect is poor, the color difference is large, and the color difference is small

Image reproduction performance Good image resolution (overprint accurate) good
The consistency of the proofs is poor

The output is slow and fast

Proofing format can be large or small

The system cost is higher and lower

High personnel requirements without special requirements

Other needs color separation output, printing matching does not need

Covers a large area, covers a small area

High environmental requirements no special environmental requirements

At first, proofing was done on a printing press by a plate (plate and embossing cylinder). From a technical point of view, only really outstanding proofs can be called proofing.

Of course, proofing on a printing press is not profitable. Therefore, people seek a more favorable proofing method - printing proofs on web and plate proofing machines. In order to simulate the results of the actual printing machine used in production, the proofing conditions must be closer to the actual printing conditions.

Later, people began to use reproducible proofing methods, but these methods can only be a substitute for proofing, because it is no longer using ink to print proofs on formal printed paper, but using pigments and other pigments to print proofs on synthetic material carriers. German calls this type of Proof "proof," but in English the word means something completely different.

English "Proof" is all proofing methods, German meaning is "color trial printing", color trial printing is divided into "material color trial printing" and "non-material color trial printing". The corresponding English names are "hard proofing" and "soft proofing". "Hard copy proofing" is divided into "machine proofing", "offset printing machine proofing", and the corresponding German name is "proofing", "proofing substitute". Analog proofing substitutes are produced from film and digital proofing substitutes are generated from digital data.

In French idiomatic language, there is no professional word for proofing substitutes, and its synonym "Coromolin" is used more.

In PS, an image size size is 103MM*103MM (including bleeding)

So after storing as TIFF, after importing into AI, how much does the page set?

The corners are spot-colored, right?

A: The page is set to 103mm*103mm, and the corner line is the set color (i.e., 4 colors).
