J ______________________________________________________________
Job Orientation Print Dimensions for width and height of a file as it is going to be printed.
Height could also be referred to as length.
L ______________________________________________________________
Laminate Any protective, transparent material applied to either side of a print. Available
in many thicknesses, finishes, with anti-graffiti treatments and scratch
resistance. Laminates with heat-activated adhesives are known as hot
laminates. Pressure activated laminates are known as cold laminates.
Laminate bead When the top and bottom laminates extend past the edge of a print, they form
a bond that seals out dirt and moisture. This aids in outdoor durability. Proper
temperature and pressure is required for an even, permanent seal.
Lay-Flatness The ability of a self-adhesive laminate to remain flat under changing
temperature / humidity conditions
Lightfast The ability to withstand a predetermined amount of light with minimal or
acceptable change.
M _____________________________________________________________
Migration Movement of one or more components from one material into another. (e.g.
plasticiser from film to ink, plasticizer from film to adhesive, etc.)
Mottle Random blotchy irregular pattern in solid fill areas giving loss of density.
Mounting The process of adhering a digital print to a substrate using an adhesive, either
on the back of the laminated print or coating the substrate.
N _____________________________________________________________
Nip The gap between the heat or pressure rollers of a laminator.
Normal Observer Person whose visual acuity and colour perception fall within normal limits
O _____________________________________________________________
Opacity The degree to which a material can prevent the transmission of light
Overlaminate Typically a pressure sensitive (cold) laminate that is applied on top of a
finished print (usually vinyl) to add durability, special finishes, increased
thickness or other characteristic.
Over saturation Excessive amount of ink placed onto media causing image to bleed through or
across the media.
P _____________________________________________________________
Plasticiser Component of plastic materials that provide flexibility
R _____________________________________________________________
Red, Green, Blue The additive (display) primaries
Referral The state in which a print is being handled and/or viewed
Reflective Colours that are seen after they bounce off an object’s surface
Release The force required to separate a pressure sensitive laminate. This force varies
with test conditions - peel speed, temperature and peel angle, etc.
Release Coat The coating applied to the backing paper, which enables the latter to separate
readily from pressure sensitive adhesives.
Rough trim Prior to final trim, it may be necessary to trim the print to approximate size for
ease in handling. When final trim is not known until at the display site, rough
trim may be used.
