Across
  1. 2. The amount and type of ingredients used in a particular printing ink
  2. 4. Substance that breaks apart and distributes inks
  3. 6. Problem that occurs when ink pigment particles bleed into the dampening solution, causing a slight tint of ink to appear on the nonimage area of the printed sheet.
  4. 7. The tendency of ink to flow more freely after being worked
  5. 9. Chemical substance that gives color to such materials as ink, paint, crayons, and chalk.
  6. 11. Instrument used to accurately determine different tone values, such as the highlights and shadows of an original
  7. 16. Driers, lubricants, waxes, and starches that are added to ink to impart special characteristics
  8. 17. When that color of the printing job does not match the intended color
  9. 18. A visual representation of color data, used for process ink analysis.
  10. 19. A press problem that occurs when two layers of ink film, on two different sheets, bond together
  11. 23. Instrument capable of measuring light of different colors or wavelengths by using a prism or diffraction grating to spread light and isolate narrow wavelengths of light between 1 nm and 10 nm
  12. 25. An ink-penetration problem that occurs when the ink soaks into the paper too deeply and shows through the opposite side of the sheet
  13. 26. In gravure printing, the process of inking the cells of the plate or cylinder
  14. 29. A condition in lithography when the nonimage areas of the plate begin to accept ink
  15. 32. The elasticity of ink; referred to as long or short
  16. 33. A chemical change in the body of an ink that occurs during storage
  17. 35. The wearing away of the surface of a plate by coarse particles in the ink
Down
  1. 1. A methid if checking for proper ink mixing by placing a small amount of ink on paper, and then using a blade to spread it and produce a thin ink film
  2. 3. The stickiness of the ink. A measurement of cohesion between the ink film and the substrate.
  3. 5. A condition that results when wet ink on the press sheets transfers to the back of other sheets in a stack
  4. 8. An instrument that measures the tack of a printing ink
  5. 9. Condition that occurs when dried ink is easily rubbed off
  6. 10. Term that describes the consistency of an ink
  7. 12. A device that measures the thickness of the ink film on the press rollers
  8. 13. The internal resistance of an ink to flow; the opposite of fluidity.
  9. 14. The amount of pigment in an ink that determines how well the ink will cover the substrate.
  10. 15. Colorants in the form of fine, solid particles that do not dissolve but spread through liquids or other substnces
  11. 20. A device that measures that pigment particle size in an ink
  12. 21. Term describing the dispersing of a pigment in an undried state into a vehicle for ink
  13. 22. The point at which the ink is free of volatile substances and has polymerized to a total solid state
  14. 24. The point at which an ink is dry enough to be lightly touched without smudging
  15. 27. Tiny dots that appear near an image area, caused by paper fibers or other foreign material in the ink
  16. 28. Substance that holds pigment together and adheres ink to the substrate.
  17. 30. The liquid component in ink that serves as a binding agent
  18. 31. A colored coating formulated to reproduce an image on a substrate
  19. 34. A small handheld roller used to distribute ink on a proof press
