Physical Proofs and Prints

I have been photographing all my life and sell my own work at a gallery, now I get some job offers from time to time and being in financial straights I want to take on some low level commercial jobs, and maybe work into the field, but am unfamiliar with the commercial lingo. When they say Physical Proofs and Prints required, what exactly does that mean?

You could ask them, but it sounds like just what it says - prints on paper - not some website or digital files on a disk.
I would appear they want to see your work the way God intended - real prints!

Nothing more than samples of your work.

In the world of real film photography, a proof was a print supplied by the photographer as a sample, particularly in portrait work. If not "watermarked" with "proof" printed across the face, then the print was usually processed with a short time in the fixer, so that when exposed to light, it would gradually fade to a lovely shade of black.
