A draw down is basically just the ink you chose on the paper you chose. They are usually 4x5 inches or so and just have a rectangle of ink on it. Usually you can have the printer put down the color you want and then add a coating (aqueous or ultraviolet) to show you what the ink finish will look like. They also can overlap two colors on the draw down to show overprint. With this process you can perfect your color specifying without going to press. They are particularly helpful in situations like yours or when you are using metallics and flourescents or a strange printing substrate (paper).
