G-7 Glossary
Simulation
See simulation profile.
simulation profile
The simulation profile describes the
color characteristics of another print
device, such as a printing press, that
you want the Fiery to simulate.
solid color rendering
A color rendering style intended for
use when color accuracy is crucial.
Unprintable colors are mapped to the
closest printable colors. Solid color
rendering does the best job of preserving
the saturation of displayed colors.
source color space
The color environment of the
originating source of an image, including
scanners and color monitors.
source profile
A profile used by the color management
system to determine the characteristics of
the color values specified in a source
digital image.
spectral light
The wavelengths of electromagnetic
radiation emitted by a given light source
that can be seen by the human eye.
spectrophotometer
An instrument commonly used in the
graphic arts industry to measure spectral
light according to a specified standard.
spot color
A color that is printed on its own
separation plate when separations are
specified. A spot color is printed using a
custom ink for that color, in contrast to
process colors that are printed using
combinations of cyan, magenta, yellow,
and black.
Status T
A spectral response for graphic arts
reflection densitometers defined by
ANSI (the American National Standards
Institute).
subtractive color model
A system in which color is produced by
combining colorants such as paint, inks,
or dyes on media such as paper or
transparent film or acetate. All printing
devices use the subtractive color model.
subtractive primaries
Cyan, magenta, and yellow colorants
used in subtractive color systems for
color printing. Combining the
subtractive primaries produces darker
colors. Black is added to the subtractive
primaries to compensate for deficiencies
of the toners or inks, and for more
efficient black printing.
substrate
In printing, the material upon which the
job is printed.
