The point of a proof paper is to give you some idea of what your image will look like when it’s printed on your good paper. Don’t spend a lot of money on proof paper, but look for something that has similar characteristics to the image paper you plan to use.

Alan Stein did this wood engraving to commemorate 25 years of the Poole Hall Press. Bill Poole was a great influence on me and many other artists. The engraving accompanied a poem Alan Stein printed as a broadside on his Chandler and Price clamshell platen press. This print shows how effective the white line can be. Compare it with David Moyer’s arresting black-line image on page 100.
