This is true in so many different ways.  I find that proofreading on 
a screen and proofreading a printed page on white paper are two 
entirely different things.  Many, many times I have finished proofing 
and spell-checking a document I've written, and am sure it's correct.
Then, after I print it, my eye will fall on a glaring error that 
simply jumps off the page at me.

For this reason, I now proof from print as an extra step on mission-
critical documents.
