Bitmap: an image represented by an array of picture elements, each one is encoded as one or more binary digits.
Black Light: also known as a fluorescent tube. produces light emission rich in ultra-violet radiation.
Bleed: printing that runs off the edge of the sheet or page after trimming.
Block out: a paste that is used to put of the screen to block out the paint.
Butt Register: where colors meet without overlapping.
Camera Ready: artwork has to be done in black ink only
CMYK: stands for Cyan, Magenta, yellow and black. the 4 process colors.
Color Separation: product resulting from color separating and subsequent four-color process printing.
Composition: the arrangement of type, graphics and other elements of the page.
Contrast: the degree of tones in an image ranging from highlight to shadow.
Crop: to cut or trim an illusion.
Crop Marks: something that bleads off the edge and u make crop marks to tell u when to cut.
Cure: heat the ink in order for it to dry.
Direct Emulsion:
Dots per inch: measure of resolution, how good the quality is. more dots, more quality.
Durometer: instrument used to measure the hardness of the squeegee blade.
Emulsion: the red stuff you put on the screen to print your design off.
Exposure: expose the art work and emulsion to the UV light.
Flood Stroke: cool the int and push it through the screen only the shirt.
Four Color process printing: you use the process color separated in different screens and print them.
Graphic Design: take different colors of art combined to make a visual message.
Halftone: to photograph or scan a continuous tone image to convert the image into halftone dots.
Headline: text that convey the most important information.
Illustration: represents anything from a drawing.
Jaggies: when a bitmap is blown up to big and edges are jagged.
JPEG: a picture format
Graphic design: take all the elements and put them together.
Layout: position on how you lay things
Line Art: convert it into lines and print
