Catch up
Globs of ink that appear on final press output. This may be solved
by increasing the amount of water used on the run and then adjusting
the ink/water balance, by increasing the fountain solution, or by
adding wetting agent.
Centronics Interface
An interface standard for parallel data transmission which sends one
byte (8 bits) of data at a time between computers and local
peripheral devices. Parallel interfacing is generally faster than serial
interfacing.
Character Set
The complete set of characters that appear in a typeface family. See
also Typeface and Family.
CMYK Color
A color system based on the mixture of cyan, magenta, yellow, and
black. These ink colors are used to create printer’s process colors.
See Subtractive Color Theory.
Coaxial Cable
An electrical cable made up of an insulated dielectric tube with a
solid wire core. The name is derived from the fact that the
conducting wire and dielectric tube share the same center point or
axis. Coaxial cable is used for cable television connections and
many Ethernet networks.
Color Gamut
The range of colors that can be produced by an output device, such
as a color monitor or printer, or recognized by an input device such
as a scanner or the human eye.
Color Management System (CMS)
Software which translates color information between devices (such
as a printer and a monitor) or between a device and the International
Color Consortium (ICC) format that other system devices can
understand.
