Terms You Need to Know about Printing

The following is by no means all of the terms that you may come across when dealing with your printer. What we wanted to do here is provide you with many of the most common terms so you can understand the catalog printing process better. Many of these terms are ones that you will not have to deal with at all as most catalog printers offer full service.

Bleeds: This is where your design calls for the ink to go all the way to an edge of the page. To determine the number of bleeds you have to count all of the edges the ink goes to. In other words, your page has a top, a bottom, a right, and a left edge. Each edge your ink will go to is one bleed.

Bluelines: This is a proof of your catalog on film that is used to verify that everything is correct.

Camera Ready Art: This are not your photographs. Those will be photographed as half tones. (See glossary term, Half Tones) This is about your artwork. It has to be provided to the printer on a board or paper ready to be photographed. If there is more than one color, each color has to be on a different sheet of paper or board piece. You should also include the composite where all of the colors are on one paper or board so the printer knows what the outcome should look like.

Color Key: This is an acetate film proof of your catalog. Each color is produced on a separate sheet, then laid over each other to make sure everything is in the right place. This method is generally less expensive than match print, but not as accurate. (See glossary term Match print.)

Composed Film: These are pieces of film that are ready to be stripped or put together with other pieces of film to make plate ready film. Plate ready film is used to make the plates your printer will print your catalog with.

Coverage Percentage: If your catalog has areas where there will be 100% ink coverage and you tell your printer, then they can use the correct press and processes to produce it for you.

Cover Ink: There are two types of ink to choose from for your cover. CMYK and PMS. If you are selling an industrial product you might use PMS, but for most products the cover uses the CMYK method for processing images.

Cover Stock: This is the heavier paper used for the cover of your catalog. It can also be used for the interior pages if you want to present your product better. High end products are usually sold in catalogs that use this higher quality paper throughout the catalog.

Design: The combination of everything from your photos to your fonts, layout, logos, artwork, and all to produce a piece that is ready to photograph and print.

Die Score or Cut: This is the method used to crease where your catalog will be folded. If your catalog has pockets this is the method your printer would use to “score” the crease where the folds are needed.

Emboss: This is where the printer creates a die and stamps your paper from the rear to make a shape stand out. This can be raised print or a logo, etc.

Foil Stamp: This is where your printer creates a die that is used to stamp metallic gold, silver, or other colored material onto your catalog pages or cover.

Fold Type: Whether your catalog will be folded in half from top to bottom, folded left to right like a magazine, or tri-folded like a brochure.

Half Tones: This is where the printer takes the photos you want in your catalog and scans them or shoots them with a camera that has a honeycomb lens. This converts your photograph to an image made up of many tiny dots that allow for correct printing of the photos.

Match Print: For high end product catalogs, this is the recommended method. Each piece of film contains one of your colors, then they are laminated together to make a single piece ready for printing. If the accuracy of the colors is important to you, then this choice is best.

Number of Pages: The number of pages you choose for your catalog. This is always in multiples of four.

Output Film: To rip your digital files and produce your art as film that is ready for print.

Output Ready Disk: This is a disk you provide to your printer as a complete product. The only thing they need to do is convert it from digital to analog film. The disk should contain a separate folder for images and one for fonts.

Perfect Binding: This is a binding process normally used for high-end product catalogs or catalogs that will be over 80 pages.

Perforate: If you want to have tear outs such as coupons, you would instruct your printer to perforate the edges of the tear out.

Quantity: The number of catalogs you need to have printed. The larger the quantity, the less each catalog will cost to produce, so you may want to order a few more catalogs than you need. They can always be distributed elsewhere.

Reflectives: This is where the printer makes a print from your photographs or your negatives.

Saddle Stitch Binding: This is a binding process normally used for catalogs that will be less than 80 pages and to save money over the perfect binding method.

Scans from Transparencies: Scanning is the process that takes your transparency and records your images as a digital file.

Set Type: Laying out your type onto a page. This term also applies to the selection of the right font and typeface for your layout.

Spread or Flat Size: This is the size of the paper that will be used to print your catalog on. Once folded it will become the Trim Size. See glossary terms for Trim Size.

Text Ink: This is the type of ink and the number of colors you will choose for the interior pages of your catalog. The two types of inks you can choose from is CMYK and PMS. If you will be using photos, you will likely be going with CMYK. If everything is text and few images, your printer may suggest PMS.

Text Stock Paper: This is the lighter paper your interior catalog pages might be printed on if you are trying to save money or you are selling an industrial or low end product.

Trim Size Folded: This is the final size you want your catalog to be. For instance, if you want an 8 1/2 by 11 catalog, the printer uses 17 x 11 paper to print it, then folds it in half so it becomes 8 1/2 x 11. Trim Size Folded is the term the printer uses to ask you the final outcome size you desire. Always remember that the width is always given before the length or height.

Deep drawing

In this process, metal blank is stretched around a plug then make it move into a die, a molding cutter. Kitchen sink is a perfect example of deep drawing technology. Aerospace, automobile, dairy, lighting, pharmaceuticals, and plastics are the industries that are rely on deep drawing process.

Cutting

To give the sheet metals different shapes it has to be cut into tiny pieces. To cut sheet metals various tools from hand tools to very large powered shears are used. CNC (Computer Numerical Control) and Lasers cutting or multi-tool CNC punch press are the most modern sheet metal cutting processes.

Perforating

Perforating is used to design, produce, and fabricate metal to meet the precise specification. Perforated metal offers a solution that is both decorative and functional.

Spinning

Spinning, performed by hand or by a CNC lathe, is the process in which a disk or tube of metal is rotated at high speed and formed into an axially symmetric part. The process has both artisans and commercial applications. To produce architectural detail, specialty lighting, decorative household goods and urns artisans use the process and among its commercial application include rocket nose cones, cookware, gas cylinders, brass instrument bells, and public waste receptacles.

Press brake forming

Hot rolling and cold rolling are the two types of rolling according to the temperature of the metal rod.

Stamping

Bending

Process in which a metal is deforming plastically to change its shape is known as bending. In this process one axis of the material is deformed not the surface area of the material. Press breaks are usually used for bending. As a flexible process it is used for getting different shapes.

Ironing

The process of uniformly thinning the work piece in a specific area is known as ironing in the metal sheet forming.

How does this Happen?!?

Unfortunately my husband, 5 mo. old baby, and I have run into an extremely bad rut and we are all on food stamps and medical. I work for the Local zoo, but only part time for now until a full time employee quits. I don’t even make half of our monthly bills, my husband’s hand has been broken for almost 6 months because AHCCCS keeps spinning us around in circle. My husband is going to get his hand fixed this month, but until then we have no way to make rent, electricty and other bills. What should I do? We got denied cash assistance because according to them i make too much money!! How the hell does that happen?I’m looking for another job but how are we supposed to survive until then.

Cut your overhead! Look at where you live, what you eat, everything you spend money on. And in the end if you can’t pay your bills the world won’t stop turning and you won’t starve to death. You can recover, it’s happened to me before and millions of others. And the way this economy is heading you won’t be alone.

And if you have credit card debt, don’t worry they were just hijacking you anyway. They will sick the collection agents on you, you’ll get letters and phone calls. Just be assertive and don’t put up with them you’ve done all you could do and sometimes things just don’t work out in spite of our best efforts.

You’ll make it past this time in your life. And listen to Lawrence below me… Don’t be proud, folks at your Church are really blessed to help those in need, that’s what they live for. Make those folks feel good and let them help you out.

Thank You Card Etiquette After the Holidays

Once the holidays are over and all of the sparkling decorations are put away, there may still be one task left to do. Sending out thank you cards to those you were thoughtful enough to give you and your family gift’s is surely something that should be done. It is a major part of the holidays that should not be neglected.

When is the last time you sent a thank you card for a gift you received? Do you even know under what conditions you should send a thank you card? Should you send a thank-you card if you received the gift in person and thanked the gift-giver on the spot? What about sending thank you cards via e-cards? Is that ever appropriate?

There are many questions when it comes to thank you card etiquette after the holidays. Fortunately, the answers are not too complicated. Here are some of the answers to those questions and a few others.

What should a thank you card be written on?

A simple note card that reflects your personality is fine for your holiday thank you cards. They do not particularly need to have a holiday theme. Chances are by the time you send this card the holidays will be over. The cards can be personalized with your name or maybe an initial; or they can be general cards bought from any stationery store. Do not simply tear a page out of a notebook to write the thank you. A note card, either casual or formal, is completely appropriate.

When should holiday thank you cards by sent by?

Thank you cards should be sent out no later than two weeks after the first of the year. Most people consider New Year’s the end of the holiday season, and with the end of the season comes the beginning of the thank you card writing.

Do I need to send a thank you card when I’ve already thanked the giver in person?

It is not necessary to send a thank you card if you received the gift in person and gave your thanks at that time. However, it is certainly not in poor taste to send a thank you card.

What should I say in the thank you card?

Always start with a simple “Thank you for the (gift name).” It is always important to mention the gift specifically. You can add how much you like the gift, when you think you will use it, or mention that you already have used it. If you didn’t like the gift, do not say so. This is very poor etiquette. A simple, “Thank you for the (gift name), It was very thoughtful of you to remember me (us) during the holidays” will suffice.

Should children write their own thank you cards?

Yes, children should write their own thank you cards. If all a child can do is write his or her own name, then the parent should write the card and let the child sign it. It does not matter how poor the handwriting is, children’s handwriting is cute. The gift giver will be delighted that the child signed it, even if it’s illegible. Children who are capable of writing their own, however, should write simple thank you cards for the gifts they receive.

How should I say thank you for a monetary gift?

There are special etiquette rules for monetary gifts, but they are not too complicated. It is customary to thank the giver for his “generous gift” but to not mention the amount specifically. It is also appropriate to mention what you are planning on putting the gift towards. For example, if a relative gave a monetary gift to the whole family, you could say, “Thank you for your generous Christmas gift. We will be using it to purchase a family membership to the local zoo this year. We’ll think of you every time we head to the zoo.”

Are sending thank you e-cards appropriate?

E-cards are still not considered proper etiquette when sending thank you notes. When someone has taken the time to select, wrap, and give you a personal gift, it is appropriate to thank them with a personal note. Many people send e-cards instead of paper cards for environmental reasons. That is understandable, but when it comes to thank you cards, it may be better to buy stationery on recycled paper. That way, the environment is still taken into consideration, but your thank you is personal.

To whom should I address the thank you card?

The card should be written to whoever signed the card that accompanied your gift. If the card said the “Smith family” the envelope should be addressed to “Mr. and Mrs. Smith” and the inside card can name each member of the family by name. Be sure to include any children’s names if the gift came from the children, too.

There is one last personal touch to include, use a stamp that you placed on the envelope. A post office stamp is very impersonal.
