Raster files contain pixels that make up the image you design or take with your camera.&nbsp; Large files taken with high-resolution cameras or designed as high-resolution files are commonly scaled up to use in wide-format print applications, however, low-resolution images cannot scale-up without them looking \u201cpixelated\u201d.&nbsp; The image above is an example of a crisp raster image compared to a pixelated raster image.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity is-style-default\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>RIP Software&nbsp;<\/strong><br>This is the software that processes your designs for output with a printer. When you purchase a printer from Roland DGA, the RIP software is included \u2013 typically Roland DG\u2019s VersaWorks 6 or another related production program.&nbsp; Using this software, you can import an image created in your design software into your RIP software for print output.&nbsp; RIP software communicates directly with your printer to instruct it what to print\u2014 translating the data from .pdf, .eps, .jpg, etc. into the ink droplets your printer will output.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity is-style-default\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Design Software<\/strong><br>The term \u201cdesign software\u201d refers to software programs that are used to create your graphics.&nbsp; Commonly used design software programs include CorelDRAW, Adobe Illustrator, and Adobe Photoshop<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity is-style-default\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Color Profiles<\/strong><br>Each combination of printer and material type has its own ink recipes to get the best results. A color profile is a pre-determined \u201ccolor space\u201d created to use in your design and print output, to ensure predictable color results with that printer and substrate. Color profiles communicate the sequence and levels of ink colors for outputting in your RIP software, in order to achieve your desired color.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity is-style-default\"\/>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"512\" height=\"512\" src=\"https:\/\/www.far-from-normal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/take_up.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3037\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.far-from-normal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/take_up.jpg 512w, https:\/\/www.far-from-normal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/take_up-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.far-from-normal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/take_up-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.far-from-normal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/take_up-160x160.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Take-Up Reel<\/strong><br>A take-up reel attaches to the front of your printer at its base to neatly roll-up the printed vinyl, paper, or other material as it comes off your printer\u2014 keeping the material off the floor. Smaller desktop printers do not have them.&nbsp; A controller and a sensor on the take-up reel work together to automatically roll-up your printed material.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity is-style-default\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>CC&nbsp;<\/strong><br>This stands for \u201ccubic centimeter\u201d and is commonly used as the unit of measurement for volume of ink.&nbsp; It is also equivalent to milliliter, or ml for short.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity is-style-default\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Tunneling<\/strong><br>This is not a fun word for a print pro \u2013 referring to the printed media shifting or \u201cskewing\u201d its movement towards one end of the media roll. It can largely be avoided with the proper set-up of Roland DGA equipment known for \u201cnon-skew\u201d production, but it can be very frustrating for printing or laminating when the media needs to move through these devices at a precise angle.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"512\" height=\"504\" src=\"https:\/\/www.far-from-normal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/smiley_face_stickers.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3031\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.far-from-normal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/smiley_face_stickers.jpg 512w, https:\/\/www.far-from-normal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/smiley_face_stickers-300x295.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.far-from-normal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/smiley_face_stickers-163x160.jpg 163w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Kiss Cut (Contour Cut)&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/strong><br>A print process in which each sticker is cut on a sheet of multiple stickers to leave the paper liner still intact\u2014 allowing you to peel off each sticker off individually from the paper liner.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"637\" src=\"https:\/\/www.far-from-normal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/spot_colors.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3032\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.far-from-normal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/spot_colors.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.far-from-normal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/spot_colors-300x239.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.far-from-normal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/spot_colors-768x612.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.far-from-normal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/spot_colors-600x478.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.far-from-normal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/spot_colors-201x160.jpg 201w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Spot Colors&nbsp;<\/strong><br>Specific color choices you can apply to graphics in your design software\u2014 similar to a paint color swatch that has a variety of \u201cspot\u201d color options.&nbsp; For example, Coca Cola has its own spot color for Coca Cola red and Home Depot has a specific spot color for Home Depot orange.&nbsp; Most brands use spot colors to define the exact color for their logos to ensure they get the consistent color they want on their branded promotions and graphics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>DPI<\/strong><br>Dots per inch (DPI, or dpi) is a measurement of raster file image quality and refers to the images \u201cdot-density\u201d. The higher the dot-density, the higher the file resolution. Web images and smaller images are commonly around 72 dpi in resolution, while images for print are typically 300 dpi and higher.

In UV inkjet printers, a clear (or gloss) UV ink is directly print to a specific area of a sign, product or substrate with multiple clear ink passes to create the effect of varnish or emboss. The more ink passes, the more prominent the raised text, texture, or design element. Available on Roland DG\u2019s UV printers as a matte ink finish or gloss ink finish, it can also be used to quickly and effectively create braille on signage as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"512\" height=\"512\" src=\"https:\/\/www.far-from-normal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/gradient.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3036\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.far-from-normal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/gradient.jpg 512w, https:\/\/www.far-from-normal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/gradient-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.far-from-normal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/gradient-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.far-from-normal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/gradient-160x160.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Gradients&nbsp;<\/strong><br>Created in your design software program, this term refers to the color transitions from one color to another \u2014 often from light-to-dark color in an \u201combre effect.\u201d&nbsp; Printers, such as TrueVIS printers with wider color gamuts yield smoother gradients that don\u2019t have visible color transitions from one color to another.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Overlaminate<\/strong><br>This is a protective, adhesive clear film that\u2019s removed from its liner and applied to printed graphics to help them last longer and prevent damage.&nbsp; It\u2019s typically applied to your printed graphics with a laminator device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Popping the Laminator<\/strong><br>This what a laminator operator does when tunneling of the media is causing a wrinkle on a print project.&nbsp; \u201cPopping\u201d simply means hitting the roller release just long enough to pull the media and the overlaminate taught through the laminator to remove the wrinkles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"512\" height=\"512\" src=\"https:\/\/www.far-from-normal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/tr2_ink.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3038\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.far-from-normal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/tr2_ink.jpg 512w, https:\/\/www.far-from-normal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/tr2_ink-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.far-from-normal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/tr2_ink-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.far-from-normal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/tr2_ink-160x160.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Eco Solvent Ink<\/strong><br>A type of ink used with Roland DGA printers that have minimal odor and can be used in indoor and outdoor applications.
