Color and Color Management
• We need to understand color, what happens to it when it is used with other devices, printed, etc.
• We need to be sure that we get the color we want at the end, whether it is printed, projected, a website, etc.
This might be a decent analogy. If I went to a restaurant in France, I would want the food I order to be exactly what I expect when it is served. I might want it prepared a certain way. I would need someone to translate this into French for me, to be sure that what I want is what I get.

Color photographs prepared for printing in color are called separations
Hairline refers to a rule drawn as thin as the output device can make it.
Paper-colored type in the middle of a photo or printed background is called a reverse
Uncoated or absorbent papers require the screen ruling to be coarser
In typography, the ideal line length is seven to eight words
“Use both upper and lower case letters” is one of the five basic rules for enhancing readability
The best separations come from transparencies
What is the typical range of halftone resolution used in showcase quality brochures? 150 - 300 LPI. see page 36.
High resolution halftones would only be used with which of the following?
Newsprint Cold-press paper Chipboard Coated paper
The resolution of a halftone is measured in lpi
In four color printing, the black plate is used to Restore contrast

Computer monitor resolution is measured in pixels per inch.
A photographic print has less tonal range (dynamic range) than a transparency.
A highlight (or dropout) halftone is often used for one half of a duotone.
A duotone is printed using two plates.
Line art can be printed on a press without converting it to a halftone.
Contrast tends to decrease during printing.
Halftone screens of 300 lines per inch are available.
