Printing
Bleed: printing that extends to the edge of a sheet or page after trimming.
Coated stock: paper that has a coating of clay and other substances applied during the manufacturing process. Coating improves durability and light reflectivity.
DPI: dots per inch - the resolution of an image (300 dpi is the ideal resolution for the printing processes we use)
Finishing: post-printing operations required to complete the printed piece such as trimming, folding and binding.
House stock: paper kept in stock by the printer.
Imposition: setting up your document more than once per page to allow for the most efficient use of the stock we are printing on for you.
Page: one side of a leaf in a publication.
Perfect bind: a method of book binding that uses glue to bind the leaves of the publication to the spine.
RIP: Raster Image Processing - the process of sending your digital file to our printing equipment.
Quotation: price offered to produce the job; considered to be binding for a certain time provided specifications don’t change.
Uncoated stock: paper that has not been coated with clay.
Variable data printing: printing where some of the information is different for each piece printed (i.e. postcards with address information printed or invoices with invoice numbers).
