Glossary

This is a description for the Glossary section

caliper The thickness of a single sheet of paper, as measured with a sensitive tool called a micrometer, and expressed in units or thousandths of an inch. Caliper is a critical measure of uniformity. Excessive variation in caliper can lead to print variation, undesirable visual effects, and uneven stretch or press-feeding problems. It can also create problems in folding and binding.   aqueous coating A water-based coating applied after printing, either while the paper is still on press (in-line) or after its off press. An aqueous coating usually gives a gloss, dull or matte finish and helps prevent the underlying ink from rubbing off.   color separation Separating full-color artwork or transparencies into the four primary printing colors of magenta (red), cyan (blue), yellow, and black by using various photographic or scanning processes.   debossing Pressing letters or illustrations into a sheet of paper using a metal or plastic die to create a depressed (debossed) image.   die-cutting Using a formed, metal-edged die to precision cut or to cut shapes into a piece of paper.   There are 55 more items in the archives for this category
