Oh, you're the guy from Australia! Thanks for clarifying. I thought
we had a NEW Mopoer named Philip Charles Edwards, since that is how
your name recently started showing up. I was thinking you must be
some real distinguished gentleman. Not that you aren't...but I didn't
realize that you are the same Phil Edwards that we've known all
along. I'm sure this was obvious to everyone else.

And the real use of a proof, is that it can be checked by all the
people needed to check that all colours are correct, all spelling
is correct, all contractual placements of names and font sizes are
correct..... all the proofs I received for posters I had designed
for both theatrical and video release in Australia (in the late 80s/
early 90s) and proofs of commissioned articles/publications were
always on better stock than the finished job once the proof was
signed off as correct.
Untrimmed one sheets (or other posters) with the colour blocks for
matching and registration puposes (as Tom points out correctly in
the pre-digital age when separation films were used and plates
made) are just that... it can be 20 or 200 out of the press while
final colour diddling can be done and checked.
Calling untrimmed one sheets " proofs" just makes them sound
better. Most real proofs are going to be residing in studio/
distributor vaults (if they bothered to keep them at all).
