Hard Proof A hard proof is a physical print produced as a proof or sample to evaluate the color accuracy, image quality, and layout of a digital file before final printing. Hard proofs are typically produced using the same printing process and materials that will be used for the final production run, allowing for a realistic representation of how the final printed piece will look. Hard proofs are used in various industries, including printing, publishing, graphic design, and photography, to ensure that the final printed output meets the desired specifications and quality standards. |
