Printing platemaking process (3)

XIV. What products are generally included in the product quality inspection before export?
How to adjust the imager's output characteristics?
What are the labels on the output film?
Pre-export quality inspection items:
1, before the output file inspection (laser proofs check)
2, check the layout and finished product size. Single-P or dual-P output problems and verifiable bleeding sites.
3, color map placement and cutting.
1) Check whether the figure is in a horizontal position, especially the visually obvious pictures such as the architectural building diagram, the connected map of Haitian, and the vast plain map.
2) Confirmation of the quality of the bottom of the picture: whether it is refunded according to the requirements, no leakage or retreat, and the retreat shall be sleek.
4, text confirmation: the correctness of the text to reach 100%. The text is big, clear, complete, clear, correct, and correct in color.
5, color blocks, color strip color confirmation.
6, picture blur and gradient quality confirmation
7, spot color sample and color sequence confirmation.
8, require the confirmation of the revised part.
Laser Imager Output Characteristics Adjustment:
* Imagesetter output is composed of halftone dots. The key to the calibration is that the size of the film internet point (ie, the concentration of the area dots) should be exactly the same as the dot size of the scanned image and the dot size specified in the application software.
* Tools: Density ruler, anti-reflectance instrument.
* Output exposure test: Objective To find an optimal exposure to set the exposure of the output machine to ensure that the imagesetter output can provide the necessary density without causing severe halftone errors.
* The method is: First use an image-setter to produce a page consisting of straight lines generated at different exposure intensities. After the page is developed, measure the exposure results with a density meter and select the best value.
* Whenever changing the important variables, such as table materials, liquid medicine, etc., should be tested once.
What are the labels on the output film: register marks, crop marks, adjustment bars, densitometer scale, file name, color name

15. What are the parts of the desktop of the tablet?
Consists of three parts, icons, windows, lai

16. What is the role and connection rules of the SCSI interface?
Role: Connect the edge of the computer and external devices, connection rules: address line is only 0-7, each device is connected in series, there must be a terminator at the end of SCSI

17. What is the difference between a stroked word and a lattice word?
Stroke words can be divided into POST, the way described by digital, can be arbitrarily zoomed in and out for the screen display, zoom will be deformed

18. What is a vector image and what is a bitmap?
The image is represented by a mathematical formula. Bitmap is represented by pixels

Production requirements: (based on the actual departure of film printing)
1. Determine the size of the finished product and the size of the left and right blank areas on the finished product:
If the above dimensions are incorrectly determined, you will have to face the fate of re-doing the whole task after investing a lot of time and energy in completing the work, because the workload of modification may be much greater than the amount of work to be done again;
2. Bleeding:
All future objects on the finished product close to the position of the cutting edge should be placed at least 3 mm beyond the cutting incision during production. After the future cutting, the effect of the object on the edge of the finished product will be correctly displayed; that is, the object (picture, graphics) A small part of the text, text, etc. will be cut off. This is called "bleeding."
3. Image format:
Pictures refer to images and graphics. Various types of pictures in computers are divided into two categories:
Image (also called raster image, bitmap, pixel map): refers to a picture composed of a pixel, the most common is the scanned photo, the image to use special image processing software to process the processing, such as PHOTOSHOP.
Graphics (also called vector graphics): It is composed of mathematical descriptions of diameters and curves. They do not exist by themselves. They are only created by specialized graphics processing software, such as those created by the drawing softwares such as FREEHAND, COREDRAW, and ILLUSTRATOR. Graphics are vector graphics.
The above two types of pictures are different in their essence. Please pay attention to understanding and distinguishing. The correct picture format should satisfy the following conditions: no loss of file information, small electronic file size, high efficiency when the film is separated from the film, and good versatility (acceptable by most output centers and application software). For images composed of pixels, the most common format is TIFF; for graphics, the most common format is EPS.
4. Image resolution and color space:
In order to achieve the effect of the printing level, the resolution of the image should be the number of screens printed at the time of printing.
1.5 ~ 2 times (refers to the 1:1 ratio, ie the picture should not be enlarged or reduced). For example, now the general color print is 175 lines/inch, then the size of the image (length and width cm) is determined, the resolution of the image should be 300DPI or 350DPI (number of 327 also need to take, take a multiple of 50 is better) After confirming, after installing the typesetting software, it is in principle required to no longer be able to zoom in or out. If it is absolutely unnecessary, it may be scaled from 10% to 20%. When the image is sent to the photocopy, it should be converted into CMYK color first. Do not use other color spaces such as RGB. All layers and channels should be removed when the image is stored last.
5. The size and color of the graphic:
The size of the graphics should be determined according to the size of the final printed product. Do not zoom in or out after placing the typesetting software (this will increase the time of photocopy output). The color of the graphics is generally marked with CMYK color (this can be expected to be true after printing colour).
6. Text:
If the text does not need special effects, it can't be printed out with image software such as PHOTO SHOP, and then it can be used as an image and then placed into the typesetting software (words printed in this way, the edges are imaginary); the text should generally be entered in the typesetting software, but also Typing in the graphics software, when the graphics containing the text are output in EPS format, select to convert the text into graphic selection items.
7. Registration issues:
Too small colored text or graphics (such as a thin horizontal line), if more than two colors of four primary colors need to be overprinted, blurring may occur because multiple color plates cannot be reprinted together 100%. Therefore, small text or graphics (including colored text, graphics, or colorless text, and graphics printed in two or more color backgrounds) should be as monochromatic as possible.
8. Overprinting and Trapping:
9. Submit documents before sending to the output center: (taking PAGEMAKER as an example).
(1) Place a graph in PAGE MAKER. When the graph is small (such as tens of K or less), it can be completely placed. That is, the graph is completely included in the PAGE MAKER file. The original image can be lost; but when the graph is relatively When large (such as a few hundred K, several tens of M, or hundreds of M), if the graphics are completely placed, the PAGE MAKER file will be too large to be manipulated and controlled, so when you put the image electronic size is greater than PAGE When MAKER sets the value, a query box appears: Do you include this graphic in PAGE MAKER? You should choose "No" at this time.
In this way, PAGE MAKER only places a low-resolution preview that is obtained from the original but smaller than the original image. You can manipulate this view. The position of the view completely represents the original image. This is called “Link. ".
(2) When PAGE MAKER encounters a picture when opening a file, it will search for the file's original location and search for the file; if it does not find it, it will search the current directory; if it still does not, it will display a message saying that the picture is not found. To! You can choose "Ignore", the page will still be the same, the pre-view is still, the file can be printed, but the resolution of the image is very low, the image is very rough.
(3) To manage the links of all pictures and texts in a file (such as picture updates, replacements, etc.), use the "Link" menu under the "File" menu.
(4) After the publications are arranged, all the pictures need to be collected, stored on one or several storage media together with the original PAGE MAKER file and sent to the output center. The PAGE MAKER file should close the reference line to make the result clear.
