Spot color
An additional separation (fifth, or more) that is used with
special inks to achieve difficult color combinations, such as
gold, or chocolate brown. Spot color is sometimes used by
graphic artists to define special corporate colors, for example,
for company logos. On the IC-301 print controller, spot colors
are tanslated into CMYK values using a dictionary, that can be
edited to adjust CMYK values.
Step and Repeat The procedure of copying the same image by stepping it in
position both horizontally and vertically according to a
predetermined layout.
Stochastic screening
A method of creating frequency-modulated halftones that
depends on the number of laser dots in a given area rather
than the size of the laser dots in a given area. The dots are
randomly placed and very small. Areas with a higher dot
percent have more spots exposed in that area and those with
a low dot percent have fewer spots. Stochastic screening is
used to eliminate moiré and improve picture detail and
sharpness in high-end color printing.
Subtractive color model
A color process in which the red, green and blue components
of the original subject are reproduced as three super-imposed
images in the complementary (subtractive) colors of cyan,
magenta and yellow respectively. See also
