All in One Printer User Manual

printer description file
A PPD file or PDF file that Apple Macintosh software uses to
prepare pages and documents for specific output devices.
process
An action initiated on a file—for example, refining a PostScript file,
copying a file from one folder to another, or outputting a TIFF file
to plate.
process colors
The four ink colors that are used to reproduce full-color images:
cyan, magenta, yellow, and black (CMYK). Combinations of CMYK
are used to reproduce many colors of the spectrum.
PSImage
A low-resolution EPS file that is part of the Automatic Picture
Replacement (APR) workflow. You use PSImage files to position
images in page layout. You can create and edit a PSImage file in
various applications, such as PSImage Exporter in Photoshop,
Copydot Toolkit, and oXYgen software. If you edit a PSImage file
(for example, you add a mask or a clipping path), the workflow
software applies your changes to the high-resolution file and
automatically replaces the PSImage file during the RIP process.
relative colorimetric
A method of color matching. When translating colors from one
device to another, it retains the colors that fall within the range of
both devices.
RGB
Abbreviation for the additive primaries—red, green, and blue.
These colors are the predominant colors in the visible light
spectrum that the human eye can detect. The RGB colors are
used, for example, in video monitors, scanners, and other devices
in which the light is direct and not reflected.
rich black
A black area to which layers of other inks, referred to as support
screens or booster colors, have been added to make the color as
dark as possible.
