Raster Files are significantly larger due to each PIXEL compared to a vector file with POINTS.
Resample big to small, NEVER small to big!
Level of detail of a raster image is determined by:
input resolution.
Enlargement after scanning..
decreases resolution
Reduction after scanning...
increases resolution
Resolution...
Mode...
Cropping and Scanning...
Tonal Range...
number of pixel per inch
pixel depth (amt of info)
scan only what you want
ID end points of original
What Factors determine Raster File size?
1. Resolution 2. Mode 3. Height/Width (not the amt of enlargement/reduction required to get those height/width)
**complexity of image doesn't matter
Increase ____, but no _____, then size (hxw) changes
resolution, resample
Increase____ and ______, then file size changes (45k to 4M)
resolution, resample
Greyscale options in Photoshop:
Greyscale, desaturate, Channel Mixer, Lab color
Effective resolution:
resolution you actually have
Resample? Don't Resample? How to know it's done correctly
File size stays the same, Physical hxw changes (when res increase, size decrease)
Resampling makes up information.
What if your image is too big??
RESAMPLE!!
What if your image is too small?
Reshot, Rescan, Redesign
CMYK has the same # of colors as RGB, but CMYK is bigger file
Illustrator sets flatness for you!
Final Images should be ____ to _____ ppi (commercial quality). What is acceptable for GC?
600-800ppi, for GC 400 ppi is acceptable.
Raster: Pro 1, Cons 2
Pro: Fast/Easy
Con:Large file/Res Dependent on input
Vector: Pro 4, Con 1
Pro: Small File size, Fast process, no quality loos with size change, res determined by output device.
Con: time to convert to vector (can be pro)
Flatness should be set to ____ w/o decreasing ____
highest #, quality. Increase flatness, less calculations.
TIFF/EPS
Print
Where are GIF/JPEG used? What do they stand for?
Web display
GIF: Graphics Interchangeable Format
JPEG: Joint Photographic Expert Group
What is DreamWeaver?
posting web site program, requires little HTML knowledge.
QuarkXPress, InDesign are:
Layout programs. TIFF and EPS accepted.
FreehandMX and Illustrator are:
Illustration/Design programs
Image Capture:
Epson Perfection flatbed color scanners are used in 310, OCR!!
Quiet Imposing Plus, Kodak Prinergy, Creo Virtual Proofing
Acrobat plug in: imposing and proofing.
Flatness is found by...
Output (dpi)/ Target Res
Large flatness on a circle could make it appear to be (shape).
a polygon. Understand why! Flatness determines how well a curve is output. Too low a number causes the RIP to take too much processing time. Too high a number produces poor a curve (ie: the polygon). FIND THE COZY IN BETWEEN PLACE BASED ON YOUR TARGET OUTPUT DEVICE.
Are straight lines affected by flatness values?
no
Illustrator sets your flatness for you, but bases it on your desired...
output (see attributes dialog box)
Halftone w/o screening:
posterization
Continuous tone:
white, grey, and black areas (aka high, mid, low lights)
White:
Grey:
Black:
Highlights 0-.15
Midtones anything in between
Shadows: 1.6-2.2
Flat/Muddy:
Dark highlights, Light shadows. Flat curve, little contrast.
Dot pattern variables (3):
LPI, dot shape, angle
input should be __ x the output
2
CMYK
Y-0, C-15, M-45, K-75
course material means less _____
dot gain. Glossy material will be more dot gain, but better quality. More dense.
To get best original: (2 things)
Good neutral end points, Max details/tonal range
Optimizing Halftone: Key word:
Printable
Goal of optimizing halftone:
smallest printable dot in highlight, largest printable dot in the shadow, best detail in between
12 step greyscale:
set density values-math determiniaton to determine exposures. 12 STEPS ARE NOT ALWAYS ENOUGH
slug:
area for notes outside page
Grain direction: perpendicular to cylinders on
Duplicators. Parallel for a press.
Halftone Reproduction is a______of the original.
compromise of the original.
Tonal Range:
DMax-DMin: 1.8-2.2 Goal of 1.6
Reasons for making Duotones instead of a halftone:
Extend Tonal Range, Max Detail, Add Emphasis or mood.
Subtle:
Color out of highlights, Colorful all color to highlights
Coated paper problem:
Set off
Duplicators are smaller than presses. Less rollers. Presses more control of settings. Bigger sheet size (+11x17)
We use Heidleberg GTO
5 Sections of a Press:
Fred Ran In With his Pants Down
1. Feed 2. Registration Table 3. Ink/Water 4. Print Unit 5. Delivery
Types of Feeding systems:
successive/Stream. We've done successive so far.
Grain Tests:
Tear, Water, Fold or is it on the box??
Feed Table Control these adjustments: (4)
Pile location, Pile height, air, vacuum
Pile Loction should be:
slightly off-center toward guide side. Guiding is pushing paper over.
Pile Height:
Higher for thicker, lower for thinner
Air/Vacuum
Min to seperate sheets/ min vacumm to consistantly pick.
Below the sucker tubs are...
air tubes. Expose holes everywhere there is paper.
Do all duplicators have registration tables?
no, Registration tables are there to jog the paper
Registration adjustments:(3)
Double Sheet Detector, Side Guide-push/pull, Headstops
Double Sheet Detector:
Mechanical: pressure between cams, Photoelectic: sense change in opacity.
GTO is mechanical.
Side Guide:
ensures each sheet enters in the same position. Side guide is key, closest to operator on 1st PRINT!
3, it's the magic number, yea it is...it's the magic number...form the past and the present and the future, from faith and open charity, from the brain and the body, you'll get 3....
2 out of 5 headstops on GTO
Headstop:
moves further inot the press/moves out toward the registration table.
Ink and Water:
Seperate: GTO, Intergrated: AB DIck, Rollers: soft and hard to work ink, oscillate to even out ink
ROLLERS!
Fountain, Ductor, Distribution, Form.
Main rollers (3) in order
