Abstract
Electrophotographic color proofs of half-tone dot pattern images are made which closely simulate the dot gain of prints made with lithographic plates and liquid inks. In forming the color proof, a thin transparent plastic sheet having on one side an electrophotographic toner dot pattern image is laminated to a reflective support with the toner image side in contact with the support. A thicker transparent plastic sheet is laminated to the other side of the thin sheet. The resulting color proof comprising a toner dot pattern on a reflective support and covered by a thin transparent layer and a thicker transparent layer has an apparent increase in dot size which simulates that of a press print.
