Document Summary
Trim vs. bleed vs. safety edges: trim = size of document, bleed = 1/8"" (0. 125"", safety edges = 1/4"" (0. 25"") Vinyl plates (economical but no stability and durability like metal plates: rip doesn"t like transparency in files. Relies on a type of file called postscript which doesn"t like transparency. Solid areas of colour are always a challenge. Once plate is made there is no quick way to fix it (have to start from the beginning) Cutting plan: set of instructions for operator on how to cut the job, maximize efficiency and minimize # of cuts and times handled, 3 steps rule press sheets and determine sequence of cuts. Written cutting plan with correct terminology: know the fundamental cutting rules and why they are important. Cutting machine: know all buttons used, know 3 ways to move the back gauge, explain procedure to cut like how to turn on the machine. Offset printing processes: non image area = <3 water.
