Revise

The impression of each forme, printed on proof paper the first thing after it is laid on, and taken by the pressman to the reader or overseer for him to examine that all the corrections in the press-proof are made, previously in the forme being worked off The compositor frequently takes a revise for waste paper; but this should never be done with that of the first forme; the pressman should put it into his heap so that it can be readily found. It is thus kept damp, and the revise of the second forme ought always to lie pulled on it. The reader in revising the second forme then sees the sheet perfect, which is necessary to enable him to ascertain that the matter follows, and that the furniture is right.—See Proofs.
