September 28, 2026 by Unified Color
Side-by-side printing proofs on a gray work surface: a grayscale layout sheet with image placeholders and text lines beside a full-color sheet with photos, color bars, crop marks, and a magnifying glass. A ruler, transparent grid sheets, paper stack, and desk light surround them.
