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 Cylinder Imaging
intaglio process (recessed area) - doctor blade scrapes ink from cylinder (leaving ink in cells) - copper engraved then plated w/ chrome coating
'oil & water don't mix' - plate relies on chemical repulsion of H2O & attraction of ink
catalogs - publications - packaging - labels (long run - high quality products)
strictly "digital" process - info controls "vibrating diamond stylus to "peck" out cells from copper plating

2. Pre-press
printing on a printing press for mass distribution
aka Computer to Plate (CTP)
'oil & water don't mix' - plate relies on chemical repulsion of H2O & attraction of ink
never requires film - image printed directly from digital info - capable of "variable printing -" economical for short runs

3. Gravure
printing on a printing press for mass distribution
catalogs - publications - packaging - labels (long run - high quality products)
serrated edge caused by cells
prints from resilient - raised image area (relief) - usually a "photopolymer plate"

4. Rotogravure principle
heavy - copper-plated steel cylinder comprises "image cylinder -" image composed of tiny recessed ink wells (cells) - doctor blade
microscopic water sports cause voids in solid areas
exposure to UV light through film & chem processing - laser exposure - no film needed
anything that happens to print job after it's printed

5. Offset characteristics
