LOSSARY
blasting
An undesirable effect that occurs when excess amounts of toner, possibly combined with
certain types of paper stock, cause objects in an image to spread beyond the boundaries
defined in the file.
brightness
Both the saturation and lightness of product color.
C
calibration
The process of adjusting the basic setting of a monitor, printer, or other device to standard
values in order to ensure uniform and consistent results over time. Calibration helps assure
predictable and consistent printing results.
calibration target (or calibration set)
A set of measurements that describe the expected density response of a printing device.
Calibration targets are associated with the output profile of the device.
CIE
The International Commission on Illumination, abbreviated as CIE from its French title
Commission Internationale de l'Eclairage, is an organization devoted to international
cooperation and exchange of information among its member countries on all matters relating
to the science and art of lighting. The CIE developed mathematical models to quantify light
sources, objects and observers as a function of wavelength, which led to the development of a
basic color space for plotting colors.
CIEbased colors (A, ABC, DEF, DEFG)
Device-independent color spaces that are produced by color management outside of the
Color Server, such as application software, operating systems, or printer drivers, and are
applied at the user's computer.
CMS
See color management system.
CMYK
A subtractive color model that uses cyan, magenta, yellow, and black (process colors), and is
used in color printing; a color model used in the printing of colors in four-color process
printing.
coated media
Media that is coated to enhance print quality. The coating allows the media to be printed
without allowing significant toner or ink absorption, thereby preventing blurriness or lack
of contrast.
