Proofreader
Proofreaders check typeset proofs and/or computer printouts
to detect errors in typesetting or keyboarding before final
printing of a book, magazine, newspaper or other printed
products.
A proofreader may perform the following tasks:
- compare proofs and edited copy (written or typed
material) to make sure that the final text is complete and
accurate, and that the spelling and punctuation are correct
- check all text on artwork including hand lettered text
- mark proofs using codes to indicate to typesetters or
printers the changes or corrections needed
- check revised proofs to make sure that all the
corrections have been made
- sign and date the proofs to indicate approval of
corrections
- amend and check proofs on screens.
Proofreaders may work alone or in pairs.
