Instructions:
Answer 34 questions in 15 minutes.
If you are not ready to take this test, you can
study here
.
Match each statement with the correct term.
Don't refresh. All questions and answers are randomly picked and ordered every time you load a test.
This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.
1. Flexography
prints from resilient - raised image area (relief) - usually a "photopolymer plate"
aka Flexo
Offset Lithography - Flexography - Rotogravure - Screen Printing - Digital Printing
catalogs - publications - packaging - labels (long run - high quality products)
2. Print processes
Offset Lithography - Flexography - Rotogravure - Screen Printing - Digital Printing
catalogs - publications - packaging - labels (long run - high quality products)
halo
intaglio process (recessed area) - doctor blade scrapes ink from cylinder (leaving ink in cells) - copper engraved then plated w/ chrome coating
3. Gravure characteristics

5. Rotogravure principle
aka Computer to Plate (CTP)
prints from resilient - raised image area (relief) - usually a "photopolymer plate"
pre-press - press - post-press
heavy - copper-plated steel cylinder comprises "image cylinder -" image composed of tiny recessed ink wells (cells) - doctor blade
6. Screen printing imaging methods
image area repels H2O (fountain solution) - non-image attracts H2O - ink sticks to where H2O not present - utilizes metal plate
thick ink deposit - type of product
analog process (requires film positive for screen exposure). digital screen exposure units (no film) are developed
aka Computer to Plate (CTP)
7. Allied industries
