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. Gravure products

prints from resilient - raised image area (relief) - usually a "photopolymer plate"
serrated edge caused by cells
aka Gravure

2. Screen printing imaging methods
aka Gravure
exposure to UV light through film & chem processing - laser exposure - no film needed
prints from resilient - raised image area (relief) - usually a "photopolymer plate"
analog process (requires film positive for screen exposure). digital screen exposure units (no film) are developed

3. Offset Imaging Methods
supply to companies; ink - paper - equipment mfg's
exposure to UV light through film (analog) & chem processing - laser exposure
printing on a printing press for mass distribution
aka Flexo

4. Flexo Plate Imaging

prints from resilient - raised image area (relief) - usually a "photopolymer plate"
garments - hats - backlit signs - glass & mirrors - cylinders (pens or 55 gallon drums) - cups - bottles - mugs - decals - labels - billboards - outdoor posters - etc (short run products)
intaglio process (recessed area) - doctor blade scrapes ink from cylinder (leaving ink in cells) - copper engraved then plated w/ chrome coating

5. Exs of digital printing
aka Flexo
printing on a printing press for mass distribution
anything that happens to print job after it's printed

6. Offset products
supply to companies; ink - paper - equipment mfg's
supported by screen under tension - incorrectly & commonly referred to as "silk screen printing"
aka Computer to Plate (CTP)

thick ink deposit - type of product
aka Computer to Plate (CTP)

8. Screen products
serrated edge caused by cells
Design - order entry - preflight - digital composition - proofing - imposition - proofing - platemaking - printing - binding/finishing - distribute/deliver
