  • Color Calibration

    For the correct reproduction of pictures in the printing process all the equipment used, e.g. color monitor and graphics card, color printer and imagesetters should be aligned to one another so that these numerically defined values for cyan, magenta, yellow and black are displayed concordantly. This alignment is referred to as calibration.

    Techniques for enhancing the color display of images and typography and removing color faults from printed pictures.

  • Corporate Language

    The way in which companies communicate in a uniform manner in the spoken and written word.
