Common printing terms and their meanings

 

Bleed

This refers to the area of an image or design that extends beyond the edge of the finished piece. Bleed is necessary to ensure that the final printed piece has no white borders or unprinted areas.

CMYK

This stands for cyan, magenta, yellow, and key (black), which are the four colors used in most printing processes. These colors are combined to create a wide range of colors and shades.

DPI

This stands for dots per inch, which is a measurement of print resolution. The higher the DPI, the finer the detail and clarity of the printed image.

Finish

This refers to the surface texture or coating of a printed piece. Common finishes include glossy, matte, and satin.

GSM

This stands for grams per square meter, which is a measurement of the weight and thickness of paper or cardstock. The higher the GSM, the thicker and more durable the paper.

Pantone

This is a color-matching system used by printers to ensure color accuracy. Pantone colors are numbered and standardized across the printing industry.

Print-ready

This refers to a file that is properly formatted and set up for printing. A print-ready file should meet the print shop's requirements for file type, resolution, bleed, and color mode.

Proof

This is a sample of the final printed piece that is used to check for accuracy and make any necessary changes before printing the full order.

Resolution

This refers to the number of pixels in an image, and determines the quality and clarity of the printed image. The higher the resolution, the sharper and more detailed the printed image.

Spot color

This refers to a specific color that is printed using a single ink, rather than a combination of CMYK inks. Spot colors are often used for branding or logo colors that need to be consistent across different materials.
