Terminology of graphic design, typesetting and printing industry

Graphic design is to express the author's thoughts in the form of pictures. Different basic graphics can be combined into patterns on the plane according to certain rules. You can also create by hand. So what are the technical terms in graphic design, typesetting and printing industries? The following is for reference only!

Bleeding manuscript

When printing, the cutting machine will cut 3 mm, so when making loushu and leaflets, it is necessary to make 3 mm more. This kind of manuscript is called "bleeding manuscript"

Of course, it will bleed when cutting. The printing and binding process requires that the background color or picture of the page should exceed the cutting line by 3mm, which is called color bleeding.

overlapping

Fly, cut and divide. Flash refers to removing the bleeding edge, which is a binding term.

Tilt

The distorted, crooked and right-angled water chestnut books are mostly caused by uneven paper brake pressure or improper paper grating.

shine

The surface of printed paper will be smooth when it is treated by calendering roller, which is a surface treatment process.

Backhand folding

Origami of Japanese folding machine. The fourth discount of the 32 nd edition folding method must be reversed.

Certified Copy

Not software. The layout of the first code of a book edition is called the original edition, the layout of the second code is called the inverted edition, and the front and back editions are called a group, a post or a frame.

Paper brake

It's not the door that closes the paper, it's the paper cutting machine.

theme

A method of binding books, such as riding a horse. Thin books (less than 6 posts) are covered and placed horizontally on the iron frame to pierce the wire nail.

Pork sausage roll

A method for folding book stickers, such as rolling rice rolls, can fold 32 editions with 3 upper shuttles and 2 lower shuttles.

Wind worm

"Yue" is a method of folding and pasting books. When the book is folded, it opens like a screen.

Reversing cover

The method of binding the cover by hand. Glue the back cover first, then the spine cover, and then do a "reverse" cover action.

Maoshu

It's not a long-haired book, but a blank book with a locked thread and no cut cover.

Dutoubu

A piece of cloth connecting the upper and lower leather cases of hardcover spine. Play a solid and beautiful role.

Traces left by burning

A processing action of hardcover cover, such as bronzing, has high humidity.

Exaggerated words

There is plenty of light. Of course, the picture bit is bright white. Japanese color separation style likes high light and no dots to lengthen the picture level.

low key

It's not a faint sound, which means the picture is dark, or the tone is dark.

Explosive machine

Insufficient memory or disk space will cause the computer to crash.

pound

Not the weight. Is the unit of measurement for layout, and the minimum units of English letters are points, 1 inch and 72 unit points.

level

It's not a class, it's an optical phototypesetting era, which refers to the size of words, and the fourth level is1mm.

figure

It's not a trumpet, it's the size of characters in the lead printing era. The largest special character is 72 kg, and the smallest character is 5 kg.

Flat body

Not the hairstyle, but the transformation of a square into a lens to flatten the characters. Ping 1 is 1% (10%), Ping 2 is 20%, Ping 3 is 30% and Ping 4 is 40%.

Long body

Not numbers, but narrow numbers, which are 1, 1%, 20%, 30% and 40% respectively.

spray gun

Paint with compressed air pen and air brush. Manual gradient method before DTP era.

byte

It's not a festival word, it's a byte unit of computer machine language, and 8 bits is equal to one byte.

International criminal court

Established in 1993, the internationlcolorconsortium is composed of software and hardware manufacturers such as Apple, Adobe, Silicon, Graphics and AgtaKodak. The general outline of color feature description file is mainly established.

Sodium carboxymethyl starch

The color management system transmits the data file to the color space of the configuration file according to the configuration file of the input device, and then transmits the color information of the data file to the color space of the device according to the configuration file of the output device (monitor, printer), thus ensuring the consistency of color restoration in the workflow.

Color gamut space

Refers to the sum of certain colors. For example, all colors represented by ink are called the color gamut space of ink, and the most commonly used color gamut spaces are Lab, CMYK and RGB.

Alkaline pigment

That is, the basic components of a color, such as yellow and magenta.

The opposite color

That is, the components not contained in this color are sometimes called complementary colors, such as the antonym of magenta is green.

colour

The basic characteristics of color are used to judge whether the color is red, yellow, blue or other color perception attributes.

light

Determine the nature of one object reflecting more or less light than another.

Saturation capacity

Refers to the purity of color, reflecting the principles of color and non-color.

System correction

It mainly refers to correcting and compensating the color characteristics of hardware equipment and software, so that the whole system can reach certain technical specifications and be in good working condition.

Color correction

Usually refers to color correction, including the correction of image hue and color deviation.

Tone of printed matter

Refers to the density range of an image or the density difference of an image.

The level of printed matter

It refers to the difference of subtle parts in the image within the range of possible reproduction density.

Clarity of plate making

It refers to the extent to which the dot area of an image changes, that is, whether the edge of a dot or the outline of a line is clear and neat, and whether there are obvious differences between adjacent fine parts.

Clarity of printed matter

Generally refers to the color difference between adjacent details. On the premise of overall picture coordination, the more obvious the color difference between adjacent details, the better the definition of printed matter.

Continuous tone image

Refers to the continuous change of the depth and color of the image. Microscopically, there are no jumping changes in the picture, such as photographic photos, positive films and electronic images that are not hung on the screen. Due to technical problems, continuous tone images can only be printed and copied on the screen.

halftone image

Compared with continuous images, such as printed images printed by screen printing, the changes of image levels and colors are indicated by the size or density of dots. At first glance, the details of this kind of image are discontinuous, which is called halftone image.

Ground color gain

Contrary to the background color removal, in the dark tone area of the image, the values of cyan, magenta and yellow dots are increased to make the dark color more intense, or the dark color is corrected to accurately represent the gray balance.

Undercolor removal

In the process of color separation and plate making, some inks of cyan, magenta and yellow in the dark area of the picture are removed, that is, the dot value of the dark area of the three-color ink is reduced, and a certain amount of black ink is used for compensation to ensure the continuous tone and normal contrast of the image.

Achromatic structure

It is a special background color removal process, which replaces the density values of all color areas and neutral gray areas in the image with black ink. In this way, any point in the image can only be represented by three-color ink at most.

Business organization network

In order to copy the intermediate continuous tone image, a technical means is used to form the smallest unit of the printed image.

Point size

Measured by dot coverage, it refers to the proportion of dot area per unit area.

Grid line number

Refers to the number of network lines or dots contained in a unit length.

Grid angle

Indicates the arrangement direction of points, that is, the angle from the baseline to the grid line.

Rose spot

When the included angle of the three strong color plates of black, cyan and magenta in the printed image is 30 degrees, a regular pattern with a circle will appear. The less times the screen stops, the more obvious it is. It mainly appears in the middle tone of light, especially on flat screens. This pattern is called rose spot. Divided into hollow rose points and solid rose points.
