approved press prove
Declined
The color proof that has been approved by the art director or the production manager and that is going to be used by the press personnel to match color off of the printing press.
Such a proof has been signed by the art director / the production manager, either during an on-site press proof or after delivery of such a press proof to the design studio.

Note from asker:
| Do you mean 'proof' (instead of 'prove')? |
| OK, thanks, that fits the context well. Just found another sentence: "Das Ergebnis dieses Testdrucks ist ein sogenannter OK-Bogen." |
| Thans for the suggestion Nicole. In the meantime I found several original sources with 'OK sheet' so am going with that |
Peer comment(s):
| agree |
British Diana
: So here it means that they don't need a sample of the "Lack", just the photo?

Discussion
In the meantime I have found several (original) sources that use Ok sheets. Whoever posted the discussion entry should suggest that as an answer!
