Glossary

CMYK

The process colors - Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black. See also Color

 

separations, Process colors, and Subtractive color model.

Color gamut

The range of colors possible with any color system.

Color separations

Separate films are prepared for each of the process printing inks -

 

cyan, magenta, yellow and black. These films are used to prepare the

 

printing plates for printing on press. See also CMYK.

CSA (Color Space Array)

Color Space Array is the spectrum of specific variants of a color

 

model with a specific gamut or color range. For example, within the

 

color model RGB, there are numerous color spaces, such as Apple

 

RGB, sRGB, and Adobe RGB. While each of these define color by the

 

same three axes (R, G, and B), they differ in gamut and other

 

specifications. CSA is comprised of a three-dimensional geometric

 

representation of colors that can be seen or generated using a certain

 

color model and are quantitatively measured. Source CSA is to be

 

used only under the assumption that the upstream color workflow

 

was managed and monitored. Otherwise it should be replaced with a

 

Creo profile, which is the default.

CSA Profiles

There are three CSA profiles with gammas of 1.8, 2.1 and 2.4. The

 

higher the gamma, the darker the RGB appears. This workflow should

 

be used when you have images from different sources, such as digital

 

cameras, Internet, and scanners and you want the images to have the

 

common RGB color spaces.

 

Other possible CSA profiles are sRGB and Adobe RGB

Composite mode

In composite mode, the data required to separate a page into its

 

CMYK components is all contained within one single (composite)

 

file. Brisque or PS/M then separates the file into CMYK as part of the

 

conversion process. This processing mode is the fastest and most

 

efficient in the majority of cases.

Creep

The effect of middle pages of a folded signature extending slightly

 

beyond outside pages, compensated by shingling. See also Shingling.

Crop

To eliminate portions of an illustration or photography so the

 

remainder is more clear, interesting or able to fit the layout.

CT

Abbreviation for continuous tone. Color or black and white

 

photographic images with tones that change gradually from dark to

 

light (unlike the abrupt changes in linework).
