Quick
reference glosary:
Screen printing
Method of forcing ink through a screen stencil onto
a printable surface. Used to reproduce a
few colours, or continuous-tones. Because it lays down the ink
up to 30 times thicker than lithography, colour is more dense
and durable than other printing processes and is ideal for transferring
designs onto almost any printable surface including posters, clothing,
bottles, mugs and CDs etc.
Resolution
The sharpness of text and graphics provided by a printer
or output device, measured in dots per inch (DPI).
Dots Per Inch (DPI)
A measure of the resolution of a file. The higher
the number, the sharper the type and images.
Bitmap files
Files made up
by a grid of small squares known as pixels. Unlike
vector graphics which are edited by altering lines and shapes,
bitmap images are edited by manipulating groups of pixels.
Bitmap images are resolution-dependent; they can appear jagged
and lose detail if they are created at a low resolution and
then enlarged or printed at a higher resolution.
Vector files
Vector files are made up of mathematically
defined curves and line segments called vectors. They
are resolution-independent; they can be output at any
resolution without any loss of quality.
JPEG (.jpg)
Joint Photographics Expert Group format used for resolution-dependent bitmap
files. JPEG uses a 'lossy' compression scheme that reduces the file size by identifying
and discarding non-essential data. A higher level
of compression results in lower image quality, but in most cases compressing
an image useing the Maximum quality option produces a result that is indistinguishable
from the original.
TIFF (.tif)
Tagged Image File Format. Resolution dependent bitmap file format. Supports LZW
compression, a lossless technique that does not discard detail, but will reduce
the overall file size.
EPS (.eps)
Encapsulated PostScript file format which can contain vector graphics or bitmap
images. Adobe Illustrator can save
artwork in EPS format.
PDF (.pdf)
Portable Document Format. A universal file format that can be viewed and printed
consistently across any computer platform using Adobe's free Acrobat Reader.
PDF can contain both vector and bitmap graphics.
AI (.ai)
Native file format of Adobe Illustrator, industry-leading software for creating
vector graphics. |
