proofs vs actual prints?

This is probably a super-newbie question but I've never dealt with
professional photo labs until now. I got 5"x5" proofs when I had my
Zero2000's 120 roll film developed this past week. I'm curious.. how
different do these look as compared to what I would get if I asked them to
make a "print" from the same negative. Is there a difference in color,
clarity, etc. or is what I'm looking at the same thing I'd get if I were to
get more prints made?

Thanks in advance for any answers,
Rob
