Proof

A proof is a preliminary version of a print made for the purpose of review and correction.

Proofs are created before the final edition is printed, allowing the artist or printer to make adjustments to color, layout, or other elements. Proofs are not usually included in the main edition and are sometimes collected as rare items. They serve as a quality control measure in the printing process and are essential for ensuring the final product meets the desired standards.
