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.
