Misregistration

A situation common during printing where one or more of the color

 

separations is slightly misaligned with regard to the others on press.

 

Misregistration shows up as white gaps or tinted overlaps at the

 

borders of color pairs. Colors containing such files are trapped to

 

compensate for this possibility. On Continous Tone images,

 

misregistration can lead to blurring. See also Overprint and Trapping.

Moiré

An interference pattern caused by differences in halftone screen

 

angles or rulings. In process color printing, screen angles are selected

 

to minimize this pattern. If the angles are not correct, a pattern that

 

distracts the eye from the picture may be produced.

Newton's rings

Small concentric circles that can appear on film when two surfaces are

 

closed together but not in perfect contact.

OPI

Abbreviation of Open Prepress Interface. A prepress convention

 

established by Aldus Corps. OPI refers to tags or place holders in

 

source PostScript that point to TIFF or EPS images that have not been

 

embedded in the PostScript. These images reside in other locations

 

and are merged with the PostScript file when processed. Normally

 

used for performing high res/low res image substitution (alternative

 

to Creo APR).

Output resolution

The number of laser dots per unit of linear measurement (millimeter,

 

inch etc.) on film or paper.

Output tone curve

A graph showing the relationship of original input densities and the

 

corresponding dot percentages on film.

Overprint

A technique, which overlaps colored elements to eliminate the

 

appearance of gaps between elements caused by misregistration of the

 

various separations during printing. For example, black text is

 

normally set to overprint. See also Trapping and Misregistration.

PDL

Printer Description Language files (for example, PostScript, PDF,

 

EPS, VPS, VIPP). The CXP Color Server processes image files in PDL

 

formats, converting them into a suitable Ready-To-Print format for

 

direct, high-quality printing.
