Bleed- any design element on a print piece that extends past the edge of the paper.
CMYK- the combination of colors most commonly used in 4-color process or digital printing: cyan (blue), magenta, yellow and black (represented by “K”).
Crop Marks- indicate where the printer should make cuts to the final printed piece.
Digital Printing- also known as 4-color process printing, is specifically for CMYK color.
DPI- stands for “dots per inch” and is the measurement of the resolution of an image. For printing, 300 dpi is the optimal image resolution to produce a non-blurry image.
Finishing- value added operations that are performed after printing. These can include binding, folding or laminating.
- Coil Binding- a metal or plastic wire is spiraled through holes punched along the side of a stack of paper.
- Saddle Stitched- binding of booklets by stapling the pages on the folded spine.
Offset Printing- uses a printing press in which different plates are made for each color used in the artwork. The artwork is then run through every color plate to print the final piece. This printing process allows usage for both CMYK and Pantone colors.
Pantone Colors- also known as PMS (Pantone Color Matching System) or Spot Colors comprise a set of universal colors that every printer in the world can replicate. Using these PMS color codes helps create consistency throughout printed, branded material.
Paper Finish- refers to the surface quality of the paper used. Can be matte, glossy or textured.
- Coated Stock- any paper that has a mineral coating applied after the paper is made, giving the paper a smoother finish (gloss or satin papers).
- Uncoated Stock- paper that is not coated after is it made (matte).
Proof- digital file of the final design sent to the client to review for grammatical or graphic errors and approve for print production.
Resolution- detail an image holds. The higher the resolution, the more detailed the image.
RGB- stands for “Red, Green, Blue” and are the colors that make up all of the color combinations seen on a screen. Documents that are set up for RGB but need to be printed, have to be converted to CMYK in order to print correctly.
