GRA 323 Lecture Notes - Color Rendering Index, Cyan, Imaging Technology
Document Summary
An acronym for cyan, magenta, yellow, and black. They are printed inks that are used to represent graphics and images on a page. Process/system for calibrating the individual devices and machines that are involved in the work ow from color image processing right through to the nished printed product. Serves to guarantee correct color rendering from the input (e. g. , scanner) right up to the output on various media and with various printing technologies (e. g. ,monitor; through printing equipment or printing presses based on various technologies on various substrates). Contract proofs are ones that are targeted to be as close as possible to what the nal output will look like. The term comes from its use as a contract between the printer and the client. If the client likes the proof, they sign off on it and it goes to print. In this technology, an image created in a desktop publishing (dtp) application is output directly to a printing plate.
