If you need help with ink and words are in this section will help you. The following glossary is intended to help capture the most important concepts that control the art and science of ink consumption.
Absorption:
Othe proliferation and the reduction of transmission of visible light in its interaction with matter, which is in change of its color.
Appearance:
Othe nature of objects as visual attributes such as size, shape, color, texture, gloss, transparency andOpacity.
Attribute:
oColors are often described by their attributes of hue, saturation or chroma and brightness.
Banding:
oDistinct pattern changes, rather than a transition of colors in a gradient or other effects. Occurs in half-tone images when viewed with less than 24 bits of digital information, or without sufficient information on the color gradient of pressure.
Black:
Othe absence of reflected light, the color of the product when aBody absorbs all wavelengths of light. As a 100% cyan, magenta and yellow are combined, the resulting color should be black, but actually produces a muddy gray or brown. Therefore, in full color, black is one of the inks. The letter "K" is used to represent Black in the CMYK acronym to differentiate it from "B" for blue in RGB.
Brightness:
Othe measure the reflective quality of a medium. Different levels of brightness can changeappearance of color in the media require adjustments in calibration to obtain an optimal result.
Calibration:
oChecking, furniture and systematically standardizing the accounts of a unit.
Chroma:

Surface tension:
Othe cohesive forces on the surface of a liquid, which reduce the tendency of a liquid, the surface exposed to a minimum to promote the area. Molecules in a liquid are attracted equally from all sides, but near the surface experience unequal attractions and thus are drawn toward the center of the liquid mass by this networkForce.
