	that has been customised to its audience. Generally a common
	document template is used with different messages and content based
	on customer preferences. See personalisation, versioning.
Delta-E	A scientific measurement for the difference between two colours. A
	colour difference of 0 DE is a perfect match, 1 DE is defined as the
	threshold of what is perceptible to the human eye, and 5 DE is
	considered acceptable to print buyers.
Densitometer	A device used to measure light reflectance or transmission. Used for
	calibration of a printer or press.
DFE	Short for digital front end. Also called RIP.

	toner is transferred using an electric charge). A characteristic of digital

dpi	Short for dots per inch.
Duotone	A two-colour halftone, usually printed with black and another colour.
