dot area
The percentage of an area covered by halftone dots, ranging from
no dots at 0 percent to a solid ink density at 100 percent. The size
of a single dot is stated in a percentage of the area it occupies.
dot gain
A printing effect which results in dots being printed larger than they
should be. It occurs as a result of ink spreading on the printed
page, and if not compensated for, can lead to an image appearing
too dark.
element
Any item within a job—including an input file, page, page set,
signature, surface, or separation.
frequency-modulated (FM) screening
A method of creating halftones where the spots are all the same
size, but the frequency or number of dots changes in a given area.
There are more dots in a dark area and fewer in a light area.
frozen job
A job for which the appropriate paper stock is not available: for
example, the correct paper type, size, or weight.
gravure printing
A printing method in which the image is engraved through a
screen below the surface of a cylinder. The ink is transferred to
paper when pressed to the cylinder. Gravure is used for very long
print runs and on many substrates.
gray balance
The values for yellow, magenta, and cyan that produce a neutral
gray with no dominant hue when printed at a normal density.
