Naming Ikon Files

When I managed a prepress scanning region that handled thousands of images, I used a uncomplicated naming convention that anyone (even creatives) tin utilisation which practically made the images organize themselves - too avoided incorrectly formatted images from beingness placed into page layouts or used for the wrong application.

The naming convention followed this coding format:When I managed a prepress scanning region that handled thousands of images Naming Image Fileswhere the start missive of the alphabet of the icon trend too the start missive of the alphabet of how the icon was purposed are used equally the start ii letters of the icon name. By naming icon files this way, whenever a folder containing images is viewed past times name, the images volition move automatically grouped according to their trend which makes choosing the right icon format really simple.
It likewise used a descriptive advert that was logical plenty to move searched on. I used a appointment code inwards the advert then that equally the icon went through the editing/revision bicycle I would salve the updated images amongst the novel appointment inwards the name. This meant that I had copies of the icon that tracked the revisions done to it amongst the virtually recent version of the icon beingness the i amongst the virtually recent appointment inwards its name. This avoided using the ambiguous term "Final," "Final v2," "Latest Final" etc. inwards the icon name.

Image trend codes:
R = RGB
C = CMYK
G = Greyscale
B = Bilevel/Bitmap
M = Monotone
D = Duotone
T = Tritone
I = Indexed

Destination/purposing codes:
P = Publication/SWOP
S = Sheetfed/GRACoL
N = Newspaper/SNAP
F = Flexo/FIRST
W = Web
D = Display Inkjet
B = Backlit Inkjet

Some examples showing how the codes are used inwards practise to easily identify/describe the image:

When I managed a prepress scanning region that handled thousands of images Naming Image FilesGN_Sydney_Harbor_Australia_201008.tif = Greyscale icon purposed for Newspaper reproduction.

When I managed a prepress scanning region that handled thousands of images Naming Image FilesRW_Sydney_Harbor_Australia_201008.jpg = RGB icon purposed for utilisation on a Web site.

When I managed a prepress scanning region that handled thousands of images Naming Image FilesCP_Sydney_Harbor_Australia_201008.tif = CMYK icon separated for utilisation inwards a magazine.

When I managed a prepress scanning region that handled thousands of images Naming Image FilesB_Sydney_Harbor_Australia_201008.jpg = Bilevel/Bitmap image.

When I managed a prepress scanning region that handled thousands of images Naming Image FilesMF_Sydney_Harbor_Australia_201008.eps = Monotone/single colouring icon prepared for Flexographic printing.

When I managed a prepress scanning region that handled thousands of images Naming Image FilesDS_Sydney_Harbor_Australia_201008.eps = Duotone/two colouring icon prepared for Sheetfed printing.

When I managed a prepress scanning region that handled thousands of images Naming Image FilesIW_Sydney_Harbor_Australia_201008.gif = Index trend icon prepared for posting on a Web site.

In around cases I would add together the give-and-take "TOSS" to the icon name:When I managed a prepress scanning region that handled thousands of images Naming Image FilesCP_Sydney_Harbor_Australia_201008_TOSS.jpg = CMYK icon prepared for Publication. "TOSS" signified that the icon could move trashed/erased if difficult displace infinite was needed.

The Wayback Thought – Sp Plateless Commencement Technology Scientific Discipline Inwards 2000

Recently, J P Imaging, amongst their experimental Miracle Plate* technology, has demonstrated a unique concept – that of switching an uncoated litho ‘blank’ uncoated plate from hydrophobic to hydrophilic. The benefits of this technology, if it becomes a product, is the potential elimination of all chemicals inward plate coating, organic solvents from the coating process, equally good equally all requirements for processing equipment too associated chemistry. It would too convey major environmental benefits past times drastically reducing the need for aluminum inside the printing industry. The annunciation has renewed involvement inward option ways to icon plates for outset lithography. One such option was demonstrated equally a proof of concept at GraphExpo inward 2000. The CreoScitex "SP Plateless Technology" was a plate imaging arrangement where a plate could last imaged, too reimaged, past times spraying an ink receptive coating (Agfa Lightspeed) on it piece the plate wa...

Using Fm Screening For Ink Savings

The average ink savings yesteryear switching from, for example, a 175 lpi AM/XM halftone to a xx micron FM halftone, is well-nigh 10-15% (depending on the hit of tones inward the master copy art). Since the average sheetfed printer volition pass well-nigh 3-4% of their gross lucre on ink, equally an example, for a $10,000,000 dollar a twelvemonth printer the ink savings using FM screening volition hit from well-nigh $35,000 to $52,500 a year. The reduction inward ink usage for the same terminal presswork appearance, comes primarily from the utilization of a cut-back flexure applied to the FM screened plate, the thinner ink cinema feature of FM screening, in addition to the higher percent of the tonality beingness created optically (optical dot gain) . How higher dot gain saves ink The smaller the halftone dot is, the greater its perimeter to expanse ratio is. Since dot gain occurs at the perimeter of the dot this results inward smaller dots having to a greater extent than dot ga...
