Bleed

An image that extends to all four edges of a page. The extra amount of

 

the image that is printed on a sheet beyond the crop marks (the sheet

 

is then trimmed to size).

Calendered

Paper that has been passed through a series of stainless steel rollers

 

that produce a very smooth finish to the paper.

Calibration

A procedure to set equipment (such as displays, printers, presses, and

 

scanners) to a standard level to ensure predictable results.

Caliper

The thickness of a sheet of paper, measured in microns.

Chalking

Pigment dusts off of prints because the ink was absorbed too rapidly

 

into the paper (when printing on an offset press).

Choke

A form of trapping. A choke traps a light background to a dark

 

foreground. The lighter colour is spread inward slightly into the darker

 

colour to maintain the visual edge. See also spread.

Chroma

The vividness or dullness of a hue. One of the three characteristics that

 

describe colour (along with hue and value). Also called saturation.

CIELAB

A device-independent colour space in which three variables (L*, a* and

 

b*) are used to describe a colour. L* represents lightness, and the

 

chromatic axes are a* (the red/green axis) and b* (the yellow/blue

 

axis). CIELab defines the largest gamut or colour space.

CMM

Short for Colour Matching Module. A part of the colour management

 

system that connects together profiles to produce colour transformations

 

for a group of devices.

CMS

Short for colour management system.

CMYK

Short for cyan, magenta, yellow and black – the four printing, or

 

process, colours. They are the three subtractive primaries (cyan,

 

magenta and yellow), as well as black, used to enhance colour and

 

improve contrast.

Coated

Paper that has additional pigments and binders added to enhance the

 

surface quality and printability of the stock.

Collate

The ability of the printing press to assemble sheets in the correct order.

Collating

The process of gathering signatures together so that page 1 is followed

 

by page 2, page 3, and so on.

ColorSync

The colour management framework that is used in the Macintosh

 

environment.

Colour management

 

system

A software system that controls the transformation of colour values of

 

different devices to ensure consistent results between different devices.

 

Profiles are generated for input devices (like scanners and digital

 

cameras), displays, and output devices (like printers and presses). These

 

profiles tell the conversion routines of the colour management system

 

how to convert the colour values of one device to another.
