halftone
Complex image that has been broken down into a series of very small dots in order to
reproduce it. A newspaper photograph is a good example of a halftone image. See
Separations Manager section.

halftone cell
Single dot in a halftoned image.
hard copy
Physical copy of a document, on media such as paper or film.
hinted font
When previewing images on a low-resolution screen (or
printing them on a low-resolution printer), text can look odd
when rendered because of the size of the output pixels. Hinted
fonts improve the appearance of low-resolution text. A simple
example is shown in the diagram. With hinting (left) and without (right).

Screening)
Screening)
Proprietary technique for reducing the effect of moiré interference and improve the quality
of a color separated image when using halftones. See Separations Manager section.

input plugin
Device driver that controls an input device connected to the RIP. Several input plugins are
provided as standard with the RIP. Input plugins have several uses but are used primarily
as methods for sending input to the RIP (e.g., via a spool folder). They can also be used
as PostScript devices, data manipulation filters, or to perform asynchronous actions.

Set of key presses which have the same effect as a mouse-based operation (e.g.,
selecting a menu item) while consuming less time to perform.

lpi
Lines per inch. A measurement of halftone screen frequency, or the number of halftone
dots or lines per inch used to produce an image on a display or printer. Although a print
engine may have a resolution of 600dpi, it is rare that it can produce a halftoned image
using a line frequency higher than 175lpi.

media
Various materials (e.g., paper or film) used in producing hard copy.
mirrorprint
Page Setup dialog option that allows you to produce a mirror-image copy of your job. See
Page Setup Manager section.

moiré pattern
Undesirable printing effect that occurs when color separations are printed with incorrect
screen angles or composite images are double screened; can be minimized by using
correct screen angles. See Separations Manager section.

a document.

page buffer
File on disk used to store a page of interpreted output before it is printed or previewed.
Depending on the page buffer mode running, buffers are immediately erased or retained
on disk (to allow reprinting).

imposition
Process of printing several pages on one sheet of media, to minimize the required amount
of trimming. For example, a four page A5 pamphlet could be produced on a sheet of A3 as
shown at left. To produce the pamphlet:
of trimming. For example, a four page A5 pamphlet could be produced on a sheet of A3 as
shown at left. To produce the pamphlet:
1 Cut the paper along the horizontal line
2 Place the pages with the backs toward each other and in the right orientation, then fold

along the vertical line
This is much simpler than producing and trimming each page separately and rearranging
them in booklet form. Imposition is dealt with in the PostScript Extensions provided by the
RIP and as an option in the PrintStation Manager.
