| Color Management System (CMS) Software that allows applications and printer drivers to access information about the color characteristics of monitors, printers, and scanners. The Color Management System uses the color information to provide accurate and consistent color to the output device. Direct Digital Printing Commercial-quality printing in which electronic source files are processed directly on the printing press or printing system, rather than through analog steps such as film image setting and plate making. Direct digital printing systems may be based on lithographic offset technology or laser/toner technology. Front-end RIPs and servers are integrated components of these printing systems. Dots Per Inch (DPI) A measure of the resolution of a device. The higher the number, the sharper the type and images. International Color Consortium (ICC) A group of companies chartered to develop, use, and promote cross-platform standards so that applications and devices can exchange color data without ambiguity. Founding members include Adobe, Agfa, Apple, FOGRA, Kodak, Microsoft, Silicon Graphics, Sun, and Taligent. On-Demand Printing Commercial-quality printing produced as needed with turnarounds of a few hours or less. Often associated with very short runs of a hundred or fewer pieces. A newer class of device - the direct digital printing system - is usually associated with on-demand printing. Resolution The sharpness of text and graphics provided by any printer or output device, measured in dots per inch. Trapping The process of creating an overlap between abutting colors to compensate for imprecisions in the printing press. *Source: http://www.adobe.com/products/postscript/glossary.html |
