composite mode
A mode of operation in which all the color information associated
with a particular page is described on one page of a PostScript
file. During RIP, the file is separated into process colors and spot
colors, one file for each color. This mode of operation is the fastest
and most efficient in most cases.
contrast
The ratio between the light tones and the dark tones in an image.
If you increase the contrast, highlights become lighter while
shadows become darker.
conventional screening
A method of screening in which a continuous-tone image is broken
down into a series of dots of varying sizes that are placed in a rigid
grid pattern. Color images are separated into the four process
colors, and individual screens of color are created and then
skewed at angles to reproduce the image in print.
creep
The extension of middle pages of a folded signature slightly
beyond outside pages. Shingling compensates for creep.
CT/LW
Relating to a raster page that contains CT files, LW files, or both;
or to a workflow that creates CT and LW files.
