GLOSSARY 80 consumable Material such as ink, toner, paper, or lubricants that must be replenished regularly in order for the print device to function properly. continuous tone (contone) A photographic image that contains gradient tones from black to white (such as a 35mm transparency or a photograph). Continuous tones cannot be reproduced in that form for printing, but must be screened to translate the image into dots. CRD (Color Rendering Dictionary) A feature that maintains the best possible translation of color from one color device to another. A CRD is used by the color management system or the PostScript interpreter of the Color Server when converting data between color spaces. The Color Server includes several CRDs, each of which provides a different color rendering intent. custom color system A system of named color swatches that can be matched on press using spot colors or approximated using process colors. PANTONE and TruMatch are examples of custom color systems. D DCS (Desktop Color Separation) A data file standard that assists in making color separations with desktop publishing systems. Five files are created: four color files (one each for C, M, Y, and K) and a composite color preview file of the color image. DCS allows an image-editing application to perform color separation and pass it through to final output with its integrity intact. densitometer An instrument commonly used in the graphic arts industry to measure density according to a specified standard. density A measurement of the light-absorbing quality of a photographic or printed image. desktop color separation See DCS. device-dependent colors Colors directly related to their representation on an output device. Color values map directly or via simple conversions to the application of device colorants, such as quantities of ink or intensities of display phosphors. Device-dependent colors are controlled precisely for a particular device, but the results may not be consistent between different devices. Examples of device-dependent color spaces are DeviceRGB, DeviceCMYK, and DeviceGray.

consumable
Material such as ink, toner, paper, or lubricants that must be replenished regularly in order for
the print device to function properly.
continuous tone (contone)
A photographic image that contains gradient tones from black to white (such as a 35mm
transparency or a photograph). Continuous tones cannot be reproduced in that form for
printing, but must be screened to translate the image into dots.
CRD (Color Rendering Dictionary)
A feature that maintains the best possible translation of color from one color device to
another. A CRD is used by the color management system or the PostScript interpreter of the
Color Server when converting data between color spaces. The Color Server includes several
CRDs, each of which provides a different color rendering intent.
custom color system
A system of named color swatches that can be matched on press using spot colors or
approximated using process colors. PANTONE and TruMatch are examples of custom
color systems.

DCS (Desktop Color Separation)
A data file standard that assists in making color separations with desktop publishing systems.
Five files are created: four color files (one each for C, M, Y, and K) and a composite color
preview file of the color image. DCS allows an image-editing application to perform color
separation and pass it through to final output with its integrity intact.
densitometer
An instrument commonly used in the graphic arts industry to measure density according to a
specified standard.
density
A measurement of the light-absorbing quality of a photographic or printed image.

device-dependent colors
Colors directly related to their representation on an output device. Color values map directly
or via simple conversions to the application of device colorants, such as quantities of ink or
intensities of display phosphors. Device-dependent colors are controlled precisely for a
particular device, but the results may not be consistent between different devices. Examples of
device-dependent color spaces are DeviceRGB, DeviceCMYK, and DeviceGray.
