Across
  1. 8. The number of threads (or strands) per linear inch in a fabric.
  2. 10. size The distance across individual open areas between adjacent threads.
  3. 11. A rubber or plastic blade used to force ink through the open areas of a screen-printing stencil.
  4. 12. A printing system component that holds the plate on the press.
  5. 15. A group of rollers designed to apply moisture to the nonimage area of the printing plate.
  6. 16. Plastic relief plates commonly used in flexographic printing. The surface contains a light-sensitive polymer coating that hardens after exposure.
  7. 18. edge The result of poor cutting or adhering techniques of stencils, which can cause imperfect images.
  8. 19. Percentage of area per square inch in a fabric through which ink can pass.
  9. 21. A resilient material that is attached to a cylinder
  10. 22. A method of printing from cells or depressions that are engraved below the nonimage area of the printing cylinder.
  11. 25. A group of cylinders used to transfer images from the printing plate to the substrate. In a lithographic press, the printing system consists of a plate cylinder, a blanket cylinder, and an impression cylinder.
  12. 26. A relief press that prints by pressing a type form or plate against a platen, the surface that holds the paper to be printed.
Down
  1. 1. A duplicate relief plate that is produced from a mold through an electrochemical process.
  2. 2. A splicer unit that bonds a new web to the existing web without stopping any operations on a web-fed press.
  3. 3. A group of rollers designed to carry ink to the image area of the printing plate.
  4. 4. A printing method in which inked images are offset or transferred from one surface to another.
  5. 5. A press system that removes the printed substrate from the printing system and prepares it for finishing operations.
  6. 6. A lithographic press that prints paper one sheet at a time as it is fed through the system.
  7. 7. Flexible relief plates commonly used in flexographic printing.
  8. 9. A feeding system mechanism that places paper in register for printing on a press.
  9. 13. A control device that prevents more than one sheet of paper from entering the press.
  10. 14. mechanism A tension control device designed to produce a slight amount of drag on the web as it travels through a web fed press
  11. 17. A printing process that uses a squeegee to force ink through a porous fabric covered by a stencil that blocks the nonimage areas. The ink pressed through the open image areas produces the image on a substrate.
  12. 20. correction Adjusting images to optimize values for highlight and shadow, neutral tones, skin tones, and sharpness, to compensate for impurities in the printing ink and color separation.
  13. 21. system Definition (4 of 49)A continuous dampening system that uses a brush roller to transfer fountain solution from the fountain roller to the rest of the system.
  14. 23. Solvents added to ink to thin the viscosity and slow the drying time.
  15. 24. A single thread.
  16. 25. A measuring scale used to determine the acidity or alkalinity of a solution. The pH scale is numbered from 0–14, with 7 designated as neutral. A pH value below 7 indicates an acidic solution; a value above 7 indicates an alkaline solution.
