Across
- 5. Solvents added to the ink to thin the viscosity and slow the drying time
- 6. A control device that prevents more than one sheet of paper from entering the press
- 9. An insturment that measures screen fabric tension
- 11. A measuring scale used to determine the acidity or alkalinity of a soltion. The pH scale is numbered from 0-14, with 7 designated as neautral. A pH value below 7 indicates an acidic solution; a value above 7 indicates an alkaline solution
- 14. A relief printing process that uses flexible printing plates for printing long run jobs
- 15. A printing system component that brings the paper to be printed into contact with the blanket cylinder
- 17. A printing system component that holds the plate on the press
- 18. A splicer unit on a web fed system that uses a set of festoon rollers o draw out slack from the web and feed the press while a splice is being made
- 19. Solvent used to dissolve ink from a screen
- 21. A method of printing from cells or depressions that are engraved below the nonimage area of the printing cylinder
- 23. printing system that prints bith sides of the substrate at once
- 25. A device used to bond a new roll to the end of an existing web on a web-fed press
- 26. A group of rollers designed ti carry ink to the image area of the printing plate
- 29. Devices that provide a vacuum to remove sheets from a stack and position them for access go the press
- 30. A lithographic press that prints with one long, continuous web of paper that us fed from a roll
- 31. A feeing system mechanism that places paper in egister for printing on a press
- 32. The distance across individual open areas between adjacent threads
- 34. A single thread
- 35. Threads that run horizontally, at a 90" angle to the wap threads
Down
- 1. Flexible relief plates commonly ised in flexographic printing
- 2. The result of poor cutting or adhering techniques of stencils, which can cause imperfect images
- 3. 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 speration
- 4. A group of ylindrrs used to transfer images from the printing plate to the subtrate. In lithographic press, the printing system consists of a plate cylinder, a blanket cylinder, and an impression cylinder
- 7. A group of rollers designed to apply moisture to the nonimage area of the printing plate
- 8. The vertical distance between the surface of the cylinder bearers and the cylinder body. This allows for the thickness of the plate or blanket and packing
- 10. Solvents added to ink to change the viscosity of the ink. They do not affect the drying time
- 12. A relief press that prints by pressing a type form or plate against a platen, the surface that holds the paper to be printed
- 13. A uniform stack of paper that accepts sheets from the delivery system of sheet-fed press
- 16. A curved or triangular plane that serves as the folding surface on a web fed press
- 17. A measurement that indicates the acidity or alkalinity of a solution, as measured on the pH scale
- 20. A rubber or plastic blade used to force ink through the open area of a screen printing stencil
- 22. A resilient material that is attached to a cylinder and used as an image transfer material from the plate cylinder to the substrate
- 24. A duplicate relief plae that is produced from a mold through an electrochemical process
- 27. The number of threads (or strands) per linear inch in a fabric
- 28. A device that automatically shuts down the press if the web snaps or tears
- 29. A lithographic press that prints paper one sheet at a time as it is fed through the system
- 33. Threads that run vertically at a 90" angle to the weft threads
