Bubble Jet printing

An ink jet type of printing that heats the ink to a boiling point in a nozzle to form a bubble. When the bubble expands, there is no room left in the nozzle for the ink and the ink is projected onto paper.

CMYK

Acronym for cyan, magenta, yellow, and black; the four colors used in the standard color model of the printing industry. Refers to a method of specifying color using CMYK color values. (K is used for black because B is used to represent blue in RGB.)

dB(A)

Stands for decibel level (a decibel being a unit of measurement for the intensity of the sound coming from the printer), adjusted for background noise.

Dither Pattern

Halftoning method recommended for printing a solid area of color for charts and graphs.
