Glossary
This glossary gives a brief description of many of the important terms and concepts surrounding the
Navigator RIP. Italics are used to indicate terms with their own entry elsewhere in the glossary.
active device
The active device is the imagesetter or other output device to which the RIP is sending its out-
put. This is the output device specified in the Page Setup for the job. See also menu device.
anti-aliasing
A technique in which intermediate colors or grayscale tones are used to visually smooth boundaries between different colors. Anti-aliasing is most useful at low or medium resolutions and with boundaries between very different colors. The Navigator RIP TIFF output plugin can perform anti-aliasing, with a control offering choices between more smoothing and faster preparation.
aspect ratio
The height-to-width ratio of a page.
banding
The white bands which can be produced if interpreted data is sent to certain kinds of imagesetter
too slowly (see also data underrun)—the result is that media continues to feed through, but no
image is available to print, leading to white bands in the output. The RIP uses a printer buffer which ensures that data is sent to the imagesetter at a steady rate, in order to reduce the chances of this problem occurring.
Banding will only occur in imagesetters which cannot stop–start successfully.
black generation
The process of adding black to CMYK images in variable amounts according to printing effects
required.
Navigator RIP v8.1: April 2009 Manual
401
cassette
A container for output media. This cassette contains a roll of film or paper and is slotted onto the top of an imagesetter in such a way that the media can be fed through. Some versions of the
Navigator RIP include the Media Manager which allows you to monitor the amount of media left in many different cassettes automatically.
choke
The process of overprinting a small border on graphics to make them look smaller. Spread and choke are often used as part of trapping to protect against misregistration of color separations.
CIP3
CIP3 was a group called International Cooperation for Integration of Pre-press, Press, and Postpress (CIP3). The CIP3 group developed the Print Production Format (PPF) for files to contain information about print jobs including administrative data, information about inks and register marks, comments, and preview images. CIP3 has become CIP4, and maintains a web site at http://www.cip4.org/
.
CIP4 is a similar group called International Cooperation for Integration of Processes in Prepress, Press, and Postpress, formed to continue the work of CIP3 and to develop a new file format called Job Description Format (JDF).
CMYK
A color representation scheme (or color space) where cyan, magenta, yellow, and black are
combined to create full-color images.
color separation
A monochrome image that describes a component of a color image that has been described
using a particular color space. In printing, images are commonly depicted in the CMYK space,
leading to four separated pages for each full-color page.
color space
A scheme of representation for color images, such as CMYK or RGB. Colors are represented as
a combination of a small set of other colors, or by other parameters, for example: hue, saturation, and brightness (HSB).
composite font
A font which consists of more than 256 characters. Composite fonts are indispensable for producing images which contain, for example, Japanese text. However, they need to be treated as separate from ordinary fonts.
core RIP
The Navigator RIP PostScript language compatible interpreter. This is the program which takes
PostScript language page descriptions as input and produces bitmaps as output.
402
Manual Navigator RIP v8.1: April 2009
crop marks
Marks, printed near the edges of an image, which indicate where the paper should be trimmed.
current cassette
The cassette feeding media to the output device receiving commands. This can be the active
device (receiving a job) or the menu device (receiving commands from options in the
Device
menu).
current device
The term current device is ambiguous, because it can refer to two different devices.
The active device is the imagesetter or other output device to which the RIP is sending its out-
put. This is the output device specified in the Page Setup for the job.
The menu device is the output device that provides the name of the
Device
menu, and receives the commands generated by choosing options from the
Device
menu.
current color space
When you are creating or editing a Page Setup, the current color space is the color space of the
selected separations style.
data rate
The speed that an imagesetter receives data for imaging. It is important that the RIP sends data
to the imagesetter at approximately the data rate of the imagesetter, otherwise data underrun
may result. You can find out the data rate for a particular imagesetter from the instructions for that imagesetter.
data underrun
The result of a RIP failing to supply data to an output device quickly enough. If the output
device cannot stop / start successfully, banding or other effects will occur which may cause a
loss of output quality.
DCS (Desktop Color Separation)
DCS is Quark Inc’s method of image substitution in PostScript language jobs. The Navigator
RIP supports both DCS 1.0 and 2.0, and the similar OPI scheme.
device driver
A piece of software, often provided by an output plugin, that helps the RIP communicate with a
particular printer, imagesetter, or other output device. You can link the RIP with any output device, given the correct device driver. This driver could have been produced by you, or by
Global Graphics. It is also possible to use device drivers for input devices; see also input plugin.
Navigator RIP v8.1: April 2009 Manual
403
device type
The Navigator RIP’s concept of a multiple device driver means that you can use a single device
driver to run several different imagesetters or other output device, rather than requiring a sepa-
rate device driver for each one. One multiple device driver can run several imagesetters which have the same device type. The nature of the device type depends on the multiple device driver, and is likely to consists of groups of imagesetters. For instance, Ultre may be one device type, and Pelbox may be another.
DLD1 font
The Navigator RIP’s own font format, into which most fonts can be converted. Operations with
DLD1-formatted fonts can be performed significantly faster than they would be with normal font descriptions.
dot gain
A printing effect which results in dots being printed larger than they should be. It occurs as a result of ink spreading on the printed page, and if not compensated for, can lead to an image appearing too dark.
dot range
The range of numerical values used to represent color values. TIFF/IT-P1 uses a dot range of zero (0) through 255.
Note: The value 0 may be associated with white and 255 with 100% black or the full density of a particular ink, but this is not essential: in the MP data type, for example, these end values can be associated with particular colors and the intermediate values represent proportionate blends of these two colors.
See also TIFF (Tag Image File Format).
dot shape
The shape in which dots on the image are generated. See Chapter 6, “Screening”.
dpi
Dots per inch. A measure of the resolution of an output device. Dots per centimeter (dpcm) and dots per millimeter (dpmm) are also offered by the Navigator RIP.
Encapsulated PostScript (EPS)
EPS is a subset of the PostScript language which allows images to be described in a format which can be imported into other documents. EPS images are independent of the format of the document, and so may be imported into documents using a wide variety of applications, from within the application itself, or can even be imported into other PostScript language page descriptions.
404
Manual Navigator RIP v8.1: April 2009
error diffusion
A technique that can be used to screen contone images into a halftone reproduction. The technique works by calculating the error between the required (contone) value and the achieved
(halftone) value at each point (which might be a single pixel or a halftone cell), distributing that error to neighboring points, and using the error to modify the contone values for those points.
This is repeated for the errors at all points. The result is an irregular and non-repeating screening pattern that shows very little color error.
Error diffusion is easy to implement on low resolution devices but can be difficult to use for high resolution or color output, where the irregularity makes it difficult to predict moiré or dot gain effects. Another problem occurs where the image is rendered in bands, which may be processed in an order that is different to their spatial order: this can lead to visible discontinuities.
The Navigator RIP does not support error diffusion directly but Harlequin Dispersed Screening has some of the same “random” visual qualities while remaining predictable with respect to behavior on physical output devices. Also, output plugins can implement error diffusion screening in their output, while accepting contone page buffers from the RIP.
executive
A special mode in some versions of the Navigator RIP which allows you to type in PostScript language code and to see the interpreted results. You should only use this mode if you are familiar with the PostScript language.
exposure
Some imagesetters (for example, Pelbox) have an exposure setting which can alter the strength of the laser which produces the image. In these cases, the exposure may be set using the Edit
Page Setup dialog box.
feature
A section of PostScript language code that may be automatically interpreted with any job, specified using the Edit Page Setup dialog box.
font
A set of type characters for use in a textual printing job. Fonts typically contain alphabetical and numerical type, as well as common special symbols (such as marks of punctuation). The Navigator RIP is supplied with the industry standard 35 fonts for PostScript Level 2, and some special purpose fonts. Users can install third-party fonts as required.
halftone
A complex image which has been broken up into a series of very small dots so as to reproduce
it. A newspaper photograph is a good example of a halftone image. See Chapter 6, “Screening”.
halftone cell
A single dot in a halftone image.
Navigator RIP v8.1: April 2009 Manual
405
hard copy
A physical copy of a document, on media such as paper or film.
hardware feed
Some imagesetters will automatically feed through media whenever a job is completed. In versions where the Navigator RIP’s media management facilities are available, the RIP can take account of any devices that do this.
hinted font
When previewing images on a low resolution screen (or when printing them on a low resolution printer) text can look odd when rendered, because of the size of the output pixels becoming significant when compared to features in the characters. Hinted fonts can improve the appearance of text rendered at low resolution or at very small sizes on higher resolution devices.
This figure shows a simple example for the letter h in low resolution without hinting (left) and with (right). Here, the hinting has balanced the width of the vertical strokes.
HDLT (Harlequin Display List Technology)
Provides a programmatic interface for customization between interpretation and rendering.
HDLT appears as a password-enabled option but is most likely to be used by your supplier as a way of providing functionality that is not otherwise obvious in the RIP GUI.
HPS (Harlequin Precision Screening)
A proprietary technique used to reduce the effect of moiré interference and improve the quality
of a color separated image when using halftones. See Chapter 6, “Screening”.
IFD (Image File Descriptor, Image File Directory)
This structure used for each collection of information within a TIFF file, A typical IFD contains several entries, most of which are pairs of tags and values. There can be several IFDs in a TIFF file but the only type of TIFF/IT-P1 file to contain more than one IFD is the Final Page (FP) file.
See also TIFF (Tag Image File Format).
input plugin
A device driver which controls an input device connected to the RIP.
Input plugins have several uses—they are primarily used as methods in which input can be sent to the RIP (for example, using a spool folder), but they can also be used as PostScript language devices or data manipulation filters, and they can be used to perform asynchronous actions.
406
Manual Navigator RIP v8.1: April 2009
JDF (Job Definition Format)
JDF is an XML-based file format that is becoming the industry standard for the definition of job tickets in pre-press workflows. Its main purpose is to facilitate the exchange of information between printing applications and systems.
keyboard accelerator
A set of key presses which have the same effect as a mouse-based operation—such as selecting a menu item—while probably taking less of a user’s time to perform.
lpi
Lines per inch. A measurement of halftone screen frequency. Lines per centimeter (lpcm) and
lines per millimeter (lpmm) are also offered by the RIP.
media
The various materials, such as paper or film, that are used in producing hard copy.
menu device
The menu device is the output device that provides the name of the
Device
menu, and receives the commands generated by choosing options from the
Device
menu.
mirrorprint
An option in the Edit Page Setup dialog box which allows you to produce a mirror-image copy
of your job. See Chapter 5, “Configuring Output Formats”.
moiré pattern
A printing effect that occurs when a color separation is printed with incorrect screen angles. It
is undesirable and can be minimized by the use of correct screen angles. See also HPS (Harle-
multiple device driver
A device driver which can drive more than one output device. Normally, you need a separate
device driver for each output device you are using. By using a multiple device driver, however,
you can use this one driver to run all devices of the types that it supports. For example, one multiple device driver might support all your Ultre and ExxtraSetter devices.
N-color
N-color is a name representing a family of systems of process colors other than the conventional four-color CMYK system (and CMY and RGB). N represents a variable number of inks, which can be less than four for economy in simple jobs such as forms printing or more than four for high quality or HiFi color. Examples of N-color systems are the PANTONE Hexachrome Color
Selector system and Photo-ink technologies.
Navigator RIP v8.1: April 2009 Manual
407
OPI (Open Prepress Interface)
OPI stands for Open Prepress Interface and was originally specified by Aldus Corporation. Systems using OPI enable designers to use relatively low-resolution and easy to handle images on design workstations but to have higher quality images substituted for final output. The RIP supports both OPI and the similar DCS scheme.
output device
A computer peripheral capable of producing printed copy of a document, such as an imagesetter
or laser printer. See also active device, menu device.
output plugin
A device driver that controls an output device connected to the RIP.
page buffer
A file on disk used to store a page of interpreted output, before it is printed or previewed.
Depending on the page buffer mode in which you run the RIP, it can produce page buffers always, or only when required. Once produced, page buffers can either be retained on disk, to allow reprinting; or deleted after printing, to save space on your hard disk.
page imposition
The process of printing several pages, of, say, a pamphlet, on one sheet of media, so as to minimize the amount of trimming that needs to be done. For example, two copies of a four page A5 pamphlet could be produced from a sheet of A3 by printing the A5 pages in the pattern shown in this figure:
Page 1 Page 4
Page 2 Page 3
The pattern needs to be printed on both sides of the A3 sheet, reversed vertically on one side.
Two copies of the pamphlet could then be produced simply by cutting the paper along the horizontal line, and folding along the vertical line. This process is much simpler than producing and trimming each page separately and rearranging them so as to form a booklet.
Imposition is one of the applications dealt with in the PostScript language extensions provided by the Navigator RIP.
Page Setup
In the Navigator RIP, a Page Setup is a named collection of settings used to process a PostScript language job. All Page Setups are visible in the Page Setup Manager, which allows you to create new Page Setups and to copy or edit existing Page Setups. Using the Input Controller, you can
408
Manual Navigator RIP v8.1: April 2009
create multiple ways of sending a job to the RIP, each with an associated Page Setup, so that any
partial page buffer
An incomplete page buffer. A partial page buffer does not yet contain all of the details of the
page being rendered. The RIP produces partial page buffers when there is insufficient physical memory to interpret a job while holding a complete page in memory.
PDF has these meanings:
Portable Document Format. A PDF file describes pages, using graphic capabilities similar to those in the PostScript language. Compared to PostScript language files, PDF files are typically smaller and more portable to different printers while producing more predictable output. This is the most common usage of PDF.
Printer Description File or Printer Definition File. Files, special to a creating application or to the Netware operating system, that define the characteristics of a printer. Many more applica-
tions support PPD files, which have a similar purpose.
Photo-ink
Photo-ink technologies use different densities (light and dark versions) of one or more colorants. A capable system is then able to use the light ink in highlight areas and the dark ink where more colorant is required. A typical set of colors is light cyan, dark cyan, light magenta, dark magenta, yellow, and black.
pica
A unit of measurement in printing. Usually, equal to 12 points or 0.166 inches.
pixel
A single element of a VDU’s display, or of an image.
plug-in module
A software product that can be interfaced with the RIP to provide extra features or customizations.
point
A unit of measurement used in printing. There are 12 points to a pica. Historically, there have been several definitions of the point: a common definition is 0.01384 inches, or approximately
72 points to the inch. The PostScript language uses a default user unit which is exactly 1/72 of an inch (0.01389 inches or 0.3528 mm). This unit is frequently called a point, and this is the definition used by the RIP.
Navigator RIP v8.1: April 2009 Manual
409
PPD
PostScript Printer Description. Each PPD is a file that defines the characteristics of a printer.
When installed correctly, a PPD customizes an operating system printer driver or a creation or page layout application to optimize PostScript language jobs for the printer described by the
PPD. Many imagesetter and printer manufacturers provide PPDs for the printers that they produce.
precision screening
See HPS (Harlequin Precision Screening).
prep file
A PostScript language header file, which is interpreted before the main job processing in order to provide a standard setup to be used by a range of different jobs.
preview
To view an interpreted job on the screen before producing a hard copy of it.
profile
In printing and color science, a profile is a description of the color performance of an input or output device such as a scanner, printer, or display monitor. With suitable software, it is possible to transfer color definitions between different devices, and to have the same colors appear on each.
There is an open standard for profiles promoted by the International Color Consortium (ICC), supported by many device manufacturers and vendors of profile creation tools. The ColorPro color management options within the
RIP are supplied with several profiles and can install additional ICC profiles. There are several types of profile; see the ColorPro User’s Guide for more details.
progressive proof
A proof or series of proofs in which (some) intermediate stages of laying down the colors are
shown. For example, a CMYK page is usually printed in the order yellow, magenta, cyan, and finally black. The full set of corresponding progressive proofs would be Y, Y+M, Y+M+C, and
Y+M+C+K. If the page is to be printed with two passes on a two-color press, the most useful proofs are likely to be the ones representing the product of each pass on the press: Y+M and
Y+M+C+K.
proof
A preview or hard copy of some or all of the characters in a font, or of an image. The RIP can
create various forms of proofs—as composite output, as a set of separations, or as a progressive
proof—to suit the needs of the situation.
Raster Image Processor
410
Manual Navigator RIP v8.1: April 2009
rendering
The term rendering refers to the process of creating a bitmap image or raster from the interpreted page description. This bitmap can be used by the output device to produce a visible image.
resolution
The degree of detail with which an image is reproduced, usually measured in dots per inch (dpi).
The higher the resolution, the greater the detail in which the image will be reproduced. The resolution of a computer screen is usually around 72 dpi, whereas an image detailed enough to print in a magazine may be closer to 2500 dpi.
RGB
A color representation scheme (or color space) where separations in red, green, and blue are
overlaid to create full-color images. The RGB scheme is usually used by computer monitors and televisions, and by some printers.
RIP
Raster Image Processor. A standard term used to name programs or devices which take an image of some description—text, line (vector) drawings, or photographic images—and convert it into a bitmap for display on a computer screen or output on an imagesetter. The final bitmap is the raster referred to in the name.
roam
To preview interpreted jobs in the Output Controller, available only in either of the multiple
rosette
The pattern in which halftone cells are arranged in a separated image. This figure shows how the RIP can produce rosettes which either have dark centers (on the left of the diagram) or clear centers (on the right of the diagram, with the central dot removed).
screen angles
The angles at which the halftone screens are placed in relation to one another.
screen frequency/ruling
The density of dots on the halftone screen, commonly measured in lines per inch (lpi). This is
sometimes called ‘raster’ or ‘mesh’.
Navigator RIP v8.1: April 2009 Manual
411
spread
The process of printing a small border just outside the edges of graphics to make them look big-
ger. Spread and choke are often used as part of trapping to protect against misregistration of
color separations.
stop / start
The ability of an output device to stop and restart during printing.
tag
In TIFF or TIFF/IT files, an Image File Descriptor (IFD) contains a number of entries (tags), each consisting of an unique tag number from 0 to 65535, and its corresponding value or values.
Tag numbers are generally determined by the TIFF 6.0 or TIFF/IT specifications, and each has a specific meaning. (In TIFF 6.0, tag numbers above 32767 are vendor defined.) For example, the tag number for the tag named
DotRange
is 336.
throughput
Generally, the efficiency with which images are interpreted and produced. In the Navigator RIP specifically, throughput is another term for Multiple (Parallel) mode, where interpreting and output are carried out in parallel, and the Output Controller is used to manage the printing of
jobs. See Chapter 4, “Navigator RIP Output Methods”.
TIFF (Tag Image File Format)
The basic TIFF file format. Without further details, you cannot assume that something described as being a TIFF file conforms to the TIFF 6.0, TIFF/IT, or TIFF/IT-P1 standards.
Note: TIFF/IT is sometimes referred to as Transport Independent File Format for Image Tech-
nology. This name refers to the same format as described in Chapter 8, “Configuring Input”.
trapping
Techniques used to tackle undesirable printing effects caused by misregistration of printed sep-
arations, optical effects, and so on. See spread and choke. See also Chapter 13, “Color Separation”.
virtual memory
Virtual memory has these meanings:
In PostScript terminology, virtual memory or VM is a pool of memory used for the storage of composite objects such as strings, arrays, and dictionaries. PostScript language compatible interpreters are free to implement VM using all appropriate types of memory in their working environment.
In computer operating systems, virtual memory is disk memory used as an extension to physical memory, built-in memory, or RAM. Many operating systems support the use of virtual memory.
