| Bon a Rouler/BAR press proof Explanation: Thinking back to the time when I was chief editor of an academic journal printed in Belgium and used to have to sign these things. Two problems are apparent in Wendy's question: 1. The need to diferentiate between a BAT and a BAR (which are, in fact, two distinct steps in the production process). 2. Wendy is mis-using "press proof" as a translation for BAT, when it in fact is the correct translation of BAR. A BAT is basically equivalent to a galley proof, signed by the client to confirm that the text, layout, positions of illustrations/ads etc is correct. This can usually be signed in the client's own office. A BAR must be signed at the print works, since the client's signature goes on the first (acceptable) sheet coming off the press when everything's set up and "ready to roll". This is the absolute "last chance" to catch errors before committing ink to paper on an industrial scale, such as incorrect choice of ink colour. (If this procedure had been part of the process adopted by a printer I used to work with, the two-color ads of a well-known telecoms equipment manufacturer would have been printed in our journal in their proper livery of orange & light grey and not blue & medium grey, and we'd have avoided a costly mistake!) www.businessdictionary.com/definition/press-proof.html Definition of press proof: Test print made at the production printing press to provide the last chance for making adjustments before the volume printing of the print ... |

| Reference: Something you could look into Reference information: press pass / on-press approval / sign-off / OK sheet Bon à tirer ou BAT Il y a 3 types de BAT : – le BAT par mail – le BAT avec un sortie sur traceur qui permet de valider les placements de textes, l’ordre des pages mais pas le papier ni la couleur – le BAT cromalin pour valider les couleurs et le BAR (bon à rouler) permet une vérification directement effectuée sur la presse Offset. http://www.impchiffoleau.com/tag/bon-a-tirer-ou-bat/ La meilleure des épreuves reste le bon à rouler (BAR) qui est une feuille d’impression sortie directement de la presse offset. Cela veut dire que l’impression est lancée et oblige le client à se trouver « au cul de la machine » pour valider le document. Cela ne se fait que pour de très gros tirages de plusieurs centaines de milliers ou de millions d’exemplaires où le risque financier est très important. Pour les autres tirages, il faut faire confiance à l’imprimeur et au photograveur. http://indus.graph.free.fr/Cours PDF/Epreuvage72.pdf Pour éviter tout litige ou mauvaise interprétation, le Client doit venir sur place contrôler et signer la première feuille de tirage, dite «Bon à Rouler» avant que l’Imprimerie du Corrézien ne poursuive l’impression totale du travail commandé. http://www.imprimerie-du-correzien.fr/Imprimerie_du_correzie... A noter aussi le bon à rouler qui permet à l'imprimeur de commencer le tirage après acceptation, sur machine, d'une "bonne feuille " par le client. http://www.lesartsdecoratifs.fr/spip/frames/dico_de_la_pub/f... 6 - Press Pass No not the little card you wear in your hat. A press pass is an ‘on press’ approval of your job. If colour and consistency is key, you may want to approve your job on press, usually only of benefit if you’re producing a lot of print in one go, you’ll meet with your printer at the factory, wait for a while whilst the press minder brings the press up to colour and you’ll be called to check some running sheets off. https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/8-things-you-should-asking-yo... So, you have now approved your proof or a press pass has been signed off which leaves everything in the hands of the printers to print and finish your item to a high professional standard and to the agreed time frame as mentioned above. http://printhouse.co.uk/2009/09/print-estimate-approved-what... http://www.proz.com/kudoz/english_to_french/printing_publish...
