proofsheet

Typesetter's test page

A proofsheet is a preliminary print made for review before final production.

In photography, it shows small images of all frames from a roll of film on a single sheet, allowing quick review.

In printing, it's a trial impression checked for errors before the full run: The editor marked corrections on the proofsheet.
