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. Screen products
thick ink deposit - type of product
intaglio process (recessed area) - doctor blade scrapes ink from cylinder (leaving ink in cells) - copper engraved then plated w/ chrome coating
garments - hats - backlit signs - glass & mirrors - cylinders (pens or 55 gallon drums) - cups - bottles - mugs - decals - labels - billboards - outdoor posters - etc (short run products)
'converted' products like labels - packaging - cartons - bags (chips) - sacks - stickers - a few large metro newspapers - etc.

2. Flexo Plate Imaging
aka Computer to Plate (CTP)
exposure to UV light through film & chem processing - laser exposure - no film needed

3. Laser exposure
serrated edge caused by cells
aka Computer to Plate (CTP)
Offset Lithography - Flexography - Rotogravure - Screen Printing - Digital Printing
image area repels H2O (fountain solution) - non-image attracts H2O - ink sticks to where H2O not present - utilizes metal plate

4. Screen printing characteristics
prints from resilient - raised image area (relief) - usually a "photopolymer plate"
exposure to UV light through film (analog) & chem processing - laser exposure
aka Computer to Plate (CTP)
almost always polyester - able to print thickets ink deposit - slow process - capable of fine detail

never requires film - image printed directly from digital info - capable of "variable printing -" economical for short runs
image area repels H2O (fountain solution) - non-image attracts H2O - ink sticks to where H2O not present - utilizes metal plate

8. Pre-press
analog process (requires film positive for screen exposure). digital screen exposure units (no film) are developed
printing on a printing press for mass distribution
never requires film - image printed directly from digital info - capable of "variable printing -" economical for short runs
resilient - raised - wrong-reading image area on plate; fluid ink - plate attached to plate cylinder w/ double-sided adhesive - product commonly "die-cut"

9. Offset Imaging Methods
exposure to UV light through film (analog) & chem processing - laser exposure
microscopic water sports cause voids in solid areas
aka Flexo
serrated edge caused by cells

10. Allied industries
