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. Offset Imaging Methods
exposure to UV light through film (analog) & chem processing - laser exposure
Design - order entry - preflight - digital composition - proofing - imposition - proofing - platemaking - printing - binding/finishing - distribute/deliver
intaglio process (recessed area) - doctor blade scrapes ink from cylinder (leaving ink in cells) - copper engraved then plated w/ chrome coating
image area repels H2O (fountain solution) - non-image attracts H2O - ink sticks to where H2O not present - utilizes metal plate

2. Offset
garments - hats - backlit signs - glass & mirrors - cylinders (pens or 55 gallon drums) - cups - bottles - mugs - decals - labels - billboards - outdoor posters - etc (short run products)
supply to companies; ink - paper - equipment mfg's
strictly "digital" process - info controls "vibrating diamond stylus to "peck" out cells from copper plating
microscopic water sports cause voids in solid areas

3. 12 cells
thick ink deposit - type of product
never requires film - image printed directly from digital info - capable of "variable printing -" economical for short runs
aka Computer to Plate (CTP)
comprise period at end of a sentence

4. Flexography
'oil & water don't mix' - plate relies on chemical repulsion of H2O & attraction of ink
intaglio process (recessed area) - doctor blade scrapes ink from cylinder (leaving ink in cells) - copper engraved then plated w/ chrome coating
aka Computer to Plate (CTP)
aka Flexo

5. Flexo principle
thick ink deposit - type of product
exposure to UV light through film & chem processing - laser exposure - no film needed
microscopic water sports cause voids in solid areas
prints from resilient - raised image area (relief) - usually a "photopolymer plate"

6. Offset products
heavy - copper-plated steel cylinder comprises "image cylinder -" image composed of tiny recessed ink wells (cells) - doctor blade
aka Flexo
publications - posters - catalog - direct mail - newspapers - some packaging - etc.
resilient - raised - wrong-reading image area on plate; fluid ink - plate attached to plate cylinder w/ double-sided adhesive - product commonly "die-cut"

7. Screen Printing principle
black on white laser print - color laser print - ink jet print
image area repels H2O (fountain solution) - non-image attracts H2O - ink sticks to where H2O not present - utilizes metal plate
aka Offset
supported by screen under tension - incorrectly & commonly referred to as "silk screen printing"

8. Flexo products
