Bon à graver (BAG)

French to English Other Business/Commerce (general) Administrative
Press Proof? O.K. to Press?
I have the following text which defines the BAG but I find no English translation that is different from "Bon à Tirer".

"Tirage effectué à partir d'un fichier informatique sur support papier, en couleur, très proche de la couleur du document final. Le bon à graver correspond à une photographie du document (à différencier du Bon à tirer = tirage effectué à partir du bon à graver sur support chromalun, dont la couleur est le reflet exact de celle du document final)."

TIA!

Prepress proof

It sounds very much like a prepress proof to me.
“Prepress proofing (also known as off-press proofing) is a cost-effective way of providing a visual copy without the expense of creating a press proof.” (Wikipedia)
The references given in other answers are from French sites, so those translations may be improvised. While they may be accurate, they are probably not jargon whereas prepress proof[ing] definitely is.
