10.1 Glossary
Color Fill –
Term within the awards and engraving industry used to describe the variety of techniques
used to add color or contrast to engraving.
DPI –
Dots Per Inch or Pixels Per Inch. The resolution of an image is defined by the amount of dots/pixels
included in an inch. The DPI setting of 500, will tell the machine to include 500 laser firings within an inch.
Driver –
A software program that allows the computer to communicate with its components and
peripherals: printers, scanners, monitors, etc.
Error Diffusion (Dithering Method)
- This effect uses a series of random black and white pixels to
represent shading.
Firmware –
Programming permanently set into a computer’s ROM chips. This information is burned into
the computer chips and can only be changed by replacing the chips, or in the case of EEROM, by special
procedure.
Frequency – Adjusting the Frequency
determines the peak power of the laser which affects the
color variation and depth of the laser marking. A lower frequency will produce a deeper marking.
Raster –
The process of rendering a cutting or engraving by multiple horizontal lines. For example: when
cutting out or engraving a square, the raster setting will make the laser use numerous horizontal lines to fill
in the outlined space.
Raster Image –
An image that is defined as a collection of arranged pixels in a rectangular array of
lines. A raster image is similar to a “Bitmap” graphics image.
Raster Line –
A raster line is the individual horizontal line that makes up the raster image.
Vector
–
The process of cutting or engraving an image by using single horizontal, vertical and curved
lines. For example: when cutting out or engraving the outline of a square, the vector setting will make the
laser use a thin single line to follow the outline of the shape.
