  • 2. 

    This determines how much of a gap to have between specific letter pairs?

    • Leading

    • Kerning

    • Knockout

    • Justify Text

    • Keyline Rules

    Correct Answer
    A. Kerning
    Explanation
    Kerning refers to the adjustment of space between specific letter pairs in typography. It determines how much gap should be there between adjacent letters to achieve a visually pleasing and balanced appearance. By adjusting the kerning, designers can ensure that the spacing between letters is consistent and harmonious, avoiding awkward gaps or overlaps. This is an important aspect of typography to achieve readability and aesthetic appeal in printed or digital text.

  • 3. 

    The range of colors that a specific color mode can print?

    • TWAIN Compliant

    • DCS - Desktop Color Separation

    • PMS = Pantone Matching System

    • CAD =Computer Aided Design

    • Color Gamut

    Correct Answer
    A. Color Gamut
    Explanation
    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".

  • 4. 

    Mostly considered an undesirable shadow that appears in printing?

    • Non-Pareil

    • Cache

    • Ghosting

    • Gloss

    • Fade

    Correct Answer
    A. Ghosting
    Explanation
    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.

  • 5. 

    This format is used mostly for line art with only a few colors?   

    • GIF = Graphic Interchange Format

    • TIFF = Tagged Image File Format

    • PNG = Portable Network Graphics

    • PDF = Portable Document Format

    • JPEG = Joint Photographic Experts Group

    Correct Answer
    A. GIF = Graphic Interchange Format
    Explanation
    The correct answer is GIF = Graphic Interchange Format. GIF is commonly used for line art with only a few colors because it supports a limited color palette of up to 256 colors. This makes it ideal for images with simple graphics or illustrations that do not require a wide range of colors. Additionally, GIF files use lossless compression, which preserves image quality without sacrificing file size.

    An ideal way to insure true colors when printing?

    • ICC = International Color Consortium

    • DCS Format = Desktop Color Separation

    • DCS = Desktop Color Seperation

    • PMS = Pantone Matching System

    • HSB = Hue Saturation Brightness

    Correct Answer
    A. PMS = Pantone Matching System
    Explanation
    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.

  • 7. 

    The ability of application to convert scanned text that can be edited?

    • LPI = Lines Per Inch

    • PPI = Pixels Per Inch

    • OCR = Optical Character Recognition

    • ESP = Encapsulated Postscript Files

    • CAD = Computer Aided Design

    Correct Answer
    A. OCR = Optical Character Recognition
    Explanation
    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:

  • 8. 

    This is extra information stored on devices, such as date, time, ISO speed ratio, etc.?

    • TWAIN Compliant

    • Cache

    • EXIF

    • UCR

    • UCA

    Correct Answer
    A. EXIF
    Explanation
    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:

  • 9. 

    This adds cyan, magenta, and yellow where black is present in photos or neutral colors in an image?

    • UCA

    • UCR

    • GCR = Gray Component Replacement

    • HSB = Hue Saturation Brightness

    • ICC International Color Consortium

    Correct Answer
    A. UCA
    Explanation
    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:

  • 10. 

    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?

    • UCA

    • UCR

    • GCR = Gray Component Replacement

    • HSB = Hue Saturation Brightness

    • ICC International Color Consortium

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. UCR
    A. GCR = Gray Component Replacement
    Explanation
    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.
