An ideal way to insure true colors when printing?
- A.
ICC = International Color Consortium
- B.
DCS Format = Desktop Color Separation
- C.
DCS = Desktop Color Seperation
- D.
PMS = Pantone Matching System
- E.
HSB = Hue Saturation Brightness
Correct Answer
D. PMS = Pantone Matching SystemExplanation
The Pantone Matching System (PMS) is an ideal way to ensure true colors when printing. PMS is a standardized color matching system that uses a set of numbered colors to accurately reproduce specific shades. It provides a consistent and reliable method for selecting and communicating colors in the printing process. By using PMS, printers can achieve accurate color reproduction and maintain color consistency across different printing materials and processes.Rate this question:

The ability of application to convert scanned text that can be edited?
- A.
LPI = Lines Per Inch
- B.
PPI = Pixels Per Inch
- C.
OCR = Optical Character Recognition
- D.
ESP = Encapsulated Postscript Files
- E.
CAD = Computer Aided Design
Correct Answer
C. OCR = Optical Character RecognitionExplanation
OCR stands for Optical Character Recognition, which is the ability of an application to convert scanned text into editable and searchable formats. This technology uses algorithms to recognize and interpret characters from scanned documents, images, or handwritten text. By using OCR, users can easily extract text, edit it, and store it digitally, saving time and effort compared to manually typing the text. OCR is widely used in various industries, such as document management, data entry, and digital archiving.Rate this question:

This is extra information stored on devices, such as date, time, ISO speed ratio, etc.?
- A.
TWAIN Compliant
- B.
Cache
- C.
EXIF
- D.
UCR
- E.
UCA
Correct Answer
C. EXIFExplanation
EXIF stands for Exchangeable Image File Format. It is a standard format that stores additional information about an image, such as date, time, ISO speed ratio, camera settings, and other technical details. This information is embedded in the image file itself, allowing photographers and software applications to easily access and interpret the metadata. Therefore, EXIF is the correct answer as it accurately describes the extra information stored on devices.Rate this question:

This is a choice in color settings dialog box, and choosing before printing reduces the amount of C, M, and Y ink in darkest neutral areas of an image?
- A.
UCA
- B.
UCR
- C.
GCR = Gray Component Replacement
- D.
HSB = Hue Saturation Brightness
- E.
ICC International Color Consortium
Correct Answer(s)
B. UCR
C. GCR = Gray Component ReplacementExplanation
Gray Component Replacement (GCR) and Under Color Removal (UCR) are both color management techniques used in printing. UCR replaces some of the Cyan (C), Magenta (M), and Yellow (Y) inks with Black (K) ink in the darkest areas of an image, reducing the amount of ink used and improving the reproduction of neutral colors. This can help prevent issues like ink bleeding or excessive ink usage. Therefore, UCR and GCR are the correct choices for reducing the amount of C, M, and Y ink in the darkest neutral areas of an image.Rate this question:

This adds cyan, magenta, and yellow where black is present in photos or neutral colors in an image?
- A.
UCA
- B.
UCR
- C.
GCR = Gray Component Replacement
- D.
HSB = Hue Saturation Brightness
- E.
ICC International Color Consortium
Correct Answer
A. UCAExplanation
The correct answer is UCA. UCA stands for Under Color Addition, which is a method used in color printing to add cyan, magenta, and yellow in areas where black is present or in neutral colors in an image. This helps to enhance the overall color balance and improve the quality of the printed image.Rate this question:

The range of colors that a specific color mode can print?
- A.
TWAIN Compliant
- B.
DCS - Desktop Color Separation
- C.
PMS = Pantone Matching System
- D.
CAD =Computer Aided Design
- E.
Color Gamut
Correct Answer
E. Color GamutExplanation
Color gamut refers to the range of colors that a specific color mode can accurately reproduce or display. Different color modes, such as RGB or CMYK, have different gamuts. The gamut represents the entire spectrum of colors that can be produced within that color mode. A wider gamut means a larger range of colors can be accurately reproduced, while a narrower gamut means some colors may not be accurately represented. Therefore, the correct answer is "Color Gamut".Rate this question:

Ghosting is the correct answer because it refers to the undesired shadow or faint duplicate image that appears in printing. This phenomenon occurs when the ink from a previously printed image transfers onto the next printed page, creating a ghost-like effect. Ghosting can be caused by various factors such as poor ink drying, improper pressure, or inadequate ink setting. It is generally considered undesirable as it affects the clarity and quality of the printed material.Rate this question:
