In order to print in large quantities, it is necessary to check in advance whether the color tone, layout, characters, symbols, etc. of the original and printed matter exactly match before printing in large quantities. A process called printing is being carried out. These proofs are used to check the color tone, layout, and other differences between the manuscript and the printed matter, but the manuscript and the printed matter are rarely exactly the same from the beginning, and the printed version is checked each time for differences. By making the following corrections and repeating this step several times, the manuscript and printed matter are sufficiently consistent. Additionally, even if the manuscript itself is insufficient, similar operations are repeated to meet the requests of the orderer.
