The dummy is an accurate representation of what your printed book will be like. A dummy is a useful tool for both the designer and the customer. Alterations can be made after the production of the dummy before the extra expense is incurred. It is difficult to envisage how a print project will look simply at the artwork stage, as it is only displayed on a monitor. The paperweight chosen, for example, maybe too heavy or too light. Or the binding style may not suit the number of pages and design. The cover paper stock may not work well with the interior paper stock. It is possible to change these specifications after the production of a dummy but before printing. This will save time in the long term and, of course, money.

This is printed by the same machine, with the same inks and paper that the final job will use. An offset printing sample provides an accurate proof of the final job for the exact color reproduction on the chosen paper stock. This is particularly useful if an uncoated or tinted paper stock is used. Normally just one section of pages is proofed with the offset printing sample. Together with the folded and trimmed unprinted dummy, you will see exactly how the final printed and folded project will look.<\/p><p>If you produce regular work then the method of proofing will become standardized. For example, the first time you produce a multipage print project on a certain paper stock you may require a dummy, hard proofs and an offset printing sample. If the job is repeated in the future with a different copy but the same specification you may only require PDF or hard copy proofs. This is because you already know how the colors will reproduce and how it will look when trimmed and bound. You are mainly checking for text, image and graphics quality and positioning.<\/p><p>All the proofing methods have a time and cost element to them. Therefore it is important to choose the correct proofing methods for your print project to deliver the perfect result.\u00a0<a href=\"\/contact-us\/\">Contact us at QinPrinting<\/a>\u00a0for advice on all aspects of proofing.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d9a039d elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"d9a039d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dummy A dummy is also called an unprinted mock-up.
