Creation and Input

Function: text input , image scan , date processing in computer

Page 6: Digital Prepress

Digital Image TypesRaster ImagesBitmapped or raster images are created in paint-type application or by scanning. - Resolution dependentRepresented by picture element(pixels).Resolution refers to the number of samples that a scanner or capture device makes per inch and is measured in dots per inch(dpi) or pixels per inch(ppi).The number of bits used to record the information for one pixel is called the bit depth of the file.A gray-scale image is made up of black,white,and intermediate tones.(mostly 8 bits)

Page 7: Digital Prepress

Vector ImagesIf line art is created in an illustration or a draw program,it is an objected or a vector image.Vector images are made up of mathematically described paths called vectors.Resolution independent File size estimation:

(Tonal resolution/8)*(Spatial resolution) 2

*(dimensions)=file size —For example:P167

4. Determining Scanning Quality :A. Types of original : Reflect / Transmission negative / positiveB. Original breadth :C. Resolution : The resolution of scanners is usually quoted in pixels

per linear inch (ppi) or dot per inch (dpi).D. Dynamic range : It refers to a scanner’s ability to capture a range of d

ensities representing both the highlight and shadow detail found in the original copy.

E.Bit depth:It relates to the amount of information that a scanner can capture and has an effect on color,size of file,and smoothness of image gradation.

Page 14: Digital Prepress

Flatbed ScannersCCD(charged-coupled device)technology 电荷耦合器件: Which is characterized by the use of an array of light-sensitive elements that translate analog signals into digital information. Light reflected from the original is detected by the CCD array and converted into digital data or pixel.The number of CCD elements determines the actual optical resolution possible,rather than a software-interpolated resolution.

Page 15: Digital Prepress

※CCD flat-bed scanners are used for both DTP applications and professional prepress. Apart from placing the originals in the scanner, the operation of a flat-bed scanner involves using a standard image-editing program or a special workstation containing the scanner software.

※Film scanner:high-resolution capture

※Xy Scanning:XY technology means that the projection characteristics of the optics are adjusted to the size of the original to make maximum use of the receiver unit in the CCD so that the best possible resolution is achieved.

Page 17: Digital Prepress

Drum ScannerThe photomultipliers used to register RGB color values in drum scanners result in high quality reproductions. Drum scanners remain the image recording devices that satisfy the highest demands of resolution and quality.Drum scanners are based on highly sensitive photomultiplier technology, which scans the light reflected or transmitted by the original and separates it into red,green, and blue (RGB) component colors.

Principles of image scanning and color separation in digital photography

Digital PhotographyIt uses CCD technology and is in essence a scanner.

Single-Pass Camera

The CCD in a single-pass digital camera is assembled as an area array that captures an entire scene in one exposure.The CCD is overlaid with color filters positioned over each pixel.

Three-Pass Camera

The CCDs are arranged in a single row,and the image is captured one row of pixels at a time with an RGB filter wheel in front of the sensor.

Preflight---P190

Preflight is a procedure by which a file is checked for omissions and set-up errors to ensure a smooth passage through to output.Preflighting presents following problems: Corrupt or missing fonts,Missing images, Improper trapping( 陷印 ),Wrong page sizes, Incorrect color designations,Inadequate bleeds( 出血 ),Unusable media.

RIP(raster image processor)

Function:A rip converts the object-oriented and bitmapped images from any graphics software to pixels or bitmaps that the output device understands.------P187,P204

Page 33: Digital Prepress

Process and Spot Color for Printing

Process color:cyan,magenta,yellow,and black are called process colors.(P46,195)Spot color:the inks the printer purchases or mixes for a specific job are called spot colors.Spot colors can be specified from a color-matching system or hand mixed to match a color submitted by designer. (P46,195)

Page 34: Digital Prepress

Trapping - P200 , 208Trapping:the allowance for an overlap of two colors so as to compensate for misregister and resultant gaps between color. With a 60 lines/cm screen,trapping should be between 0.1and 0.2 mm,with a 33 lines/cm screen between 0.2 and 0.4 mm.Choke( 收缩 ):making the background area smaller. Choking is used when the background is lighter than the foreground.Spread:making the foreground area larger.

1 PostScript language

It is typically used to describe the appearance of a document page and to transfer it to an output system.

PostScript is a general , interpreter based computer programming language, which was developed by Adobe founders John Warnock and Charles Geschke.

PostScript can code all element of a document , including text , graphics , and pictures.

• PostScript language :

Page 44: Digital Prepress

PostscriptPostscript is a page description language that is device independent.This allows any document created with it to be understood by any Postscript compatible output device.It translates the fonts and most images into mathematical vector equations, allowing the file to be output at the highest quality on the output device being used.

Page 45: Digital Prepress

1. 可以由直线、圆弧、三次曲线构成任意图形;2. 允许以任意宽度画出任意图形的轮廓,可以任一图形轮廓作为剪裁路径剪裁其它图形;3. 文字被当作特殊图形处理,因此文字、图形、图像可以同时处理,同时输出;4. 允许包含任意分辨率的图像;5. 可以进行各种几何变换,如平移、缩放、旋转、倾斜;6. PostScript 程序由 ASCII 码表示,为各类计算机通用。

2 RIP

• RIP ( Raster Image Processor )

A Raster Image Processor comprises function modules that are required for the translation of a complex page description into a device-specific data format normally to address an output system.

• Types of RIP

Software RIP

Hardware RIP

Page 50: Digital Prepress

Functions of RIP-P204

The RIP is where the Postscript information gets converted into the actual on and off commands that will allow the device to create the image.A rip converts the object-oriented and bitmapped images from any graphics software to pixels or bitmaps that the output device understands.------P187,P204 The RIP has three main functions: interpretation,rasteriaztion,and screening.
