Document Summary
Measure of printing quality, more dots = greater detail. Lighter papers print with lower dpi due to bleed. Laser printers or higher quality glossy papers print with hgher dpi. Helps you get consistent results across print jobs. Pms is based on a set of standard colours that can be mixed in precise combinations that print consistently across different printing presses and substrates. Turns a file into a high-resolution single file that is readable by printing equipments. Solid ink: brick that rubs colour onto the substrate. Dye ink: liquid-based, soaked into fibers, quick fading. Pigment ink: fine powder, sits on paper rather than soaked in: lasts longer and maintains colour properties than dye inks. Helps the printer accurately prepare the file for printing so that the correct area is printed and the paper is cut to the proper size. Inks printed on top of each other. Produces additional colours, special effects, and silhouettes. Both types are grayscales with a colour cast.
