GLOSSARY 82 GDI (Graphics Device Interface) Graphics and display technology used by Windows computers. GDI applications rely on GDI (rather than the PostScript language) to send text and pictures to a print device. GIF (Graphics Interchange Format) A standard for bitmap graphics of up to 256 colors used for posting photographic images on Internet or intranet pages; rarely used for professional printing. gradient A smooth transition between two different colors or two shades of a color. Graphics Device Interface See GDI. Graphics Interchange Format See GIF. gravure A printing technology that uses an etched cylinder that has been immersed in ink. The ink that remains in the etched areas is applied to the paper. The non-etched surfaces of the cylinder are non-printing areas. gray component replacement (GCR) A method for improving wet ink trapping and reducing ink costs in process color printing. In shadow, midtone, and quarter-tone areas where all three process colors (C, M, Y) overprint, the gray components of those colors are reduced and replaced by black. H halftoning A method for representing an original continuous tone image using a pattern of dots, lines, or other patterns. HSB A color model where each color is represented by its hue, saturation, and brightness components; supported by most color applications. HSL A color model in which each color is represented by its hue, saturation, and lightness components.

GDI (Graphics Device Interface)
Graphics and display technology used by Windows computers. GDI applications rely on
GDI (rather than the PostScript language) to send text and pictures to a print device.
GIF (Graphics Interchange Format)
A standard for bitmap graphics of up to 256 colors used for posting photographic images on
Internet or intranet pages; rarely used for professional printing.
gradient
A smooth transition between two different colors or two shades of a color.

gravure
A printing technology that uses an etched cylinder that has been immersed in ink. The ink
that remains in the etched areas is applied to the paper. The non-etched surfaces of the
cylinder are non-printing areas.
gray component replacement (GCR)
A method for improving wet ink trapping and reducing ink costs in process color printing.
In shadow, midtone, and quarter-tone areas where all three process colors (C, M, Y)
overprint, the gray components of those colors are reduced and replaced by black.
H
halftoning
A method for representing an original continuous tone image using a pattern of dots, lines, or
other patterns.
HSB
A color model where each color is represented by its hue, saturation, and brightness
components; supported by most color applications.
HSL
A color model in which each color is represented by its hue, saturation, and lightness
components.
