PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a proofer for forming a proof image for reproducing the state of the dots of an image to be printed by a printing system, in a state of reflecting at least a part of elements of the dots. SOLUTION: This proofer is provided with a dot-estimating part 2 for estimating at least a part of the elements of the dots to be used in the system, based on dot image data for printing to be outputted from the printing system 2000, a proofing dot image data generating part 5 for inputting multilevel image data and executing dot-processing reflecting at least a part of the elements of the dots to be used by the printing system to form proofing dot image data, and a printer 200 for outputting the proof image, based on the proofing dot image data formed by the part 5.
