Across
  1. 2. The result of tensioning fabric in one direction without stretching it equally in the other direction.
  2. 5. Plastic relief plates commonly used in flexographic printing. The surface contains a light-sensitive polymer coating that hardens after exposure.
  3. 7. A method of printing from cells or depressions that are engraved below the nonimage area of the printing cylinder.
  4. 8. A curved or triangular plane that serves as the folding surface on a web-fed press.
  5. 9. A continuous dampening system that uses a brush roller to transfer fountain solution from the fountain roller to the rest of the system.
  6. 11. A printing method in which inked images are offset or transferred from one surface to another.
  7. 12. The distance across individual open areas between adjacent threads.
  8. 17. A group of rollers designed to apply moisture to the nonimage area of the printing plate.
  9. 18. A group of rollers designed to carry ink to the image area of the printing plate.
  10. 20. A tension control device designed to produce a slight amount of drag on the web as it travels through a web-fed press.
  11. 21. 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.
  12. 22. 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.
  13. 23. The number of threads (or strands) per linear inch in a fabric.
  14. 26. A printing system component that holds the plate on the press.
  15. 27. A control device that prevents more than one sheet of paper from entering the press.
Down
  1. 1. A splicer unit that bonds a new web to the existing web without stopping any operations on a web-fed press.
  2. 3. A uniform stack of paper that accepts sheets from the delivery system of a sheet-fed press.
  3. 4. A process in which a power source feeds electrical charges between the impression roller and the printing cylinder, creating a force that helps release ink from the etched cells.
  4. 6. A printing system component that holds the image-receptive blanket on the press and receives the image from the plate cylinder.
  5. 10. Imaging systems that expose fully-paginated digital materials to plates in platesetters or imagesetters without creating film intermediates.
  6. 13. A relief printing process that uses flexible printing plates for printing long run jobs.
  7. 14. A resilient material that is attached to a cylinder and used as an image transfer material from the plate cylinder to the substrate.
  8. 15. A printing system component that brings the paper to be printed into contact with the blanket cylinder.
  9. 16. Percentage of area per square inch in a fabric through which ink can pass.
  10. 19. Printing system that prints both sides of the substrate at once.
  11. 20. The result of poor cutting or adhering techniques of stencils, which can cause imperfect images.
  12. 24. A single thread.
  13. 25. A duplicate relief plate that is produced from a mold through an electrochemical process.
  14. 26. A measurement that indicates the acidity or alkalinity of a solution, as measured on the pH scale.
