How it's used
Reserved almost exclusively for professional publishing contexts, this term carries a formal tone that sounds out of place in casual conversation. It specifically refers to the final stage of sending a finalized manuscript to the printer, rather than the general act of printing documents at home or in an office.
Examples
The manuscript is proofread, it is ready to be sent to the press.
