This document defines common terms used in graphic design and printing. It provides concise explanations of key concepts such as CMYK color process, spot colors, paper weights, offset lithography, and digital proofs. Specific terms are grouped into categories including graphic arts, color/ink, printing, and paper to provide essential information on techniques, materials and production processes in a clear and organized manner.
- Do you think resolution has something to do with the quality of a picture?
- Do you think 300dpi is high resolution?
- Do you use Pantone spot colours in order to avoid colour mismatch?
THINK AGAIN!
Myth buster Stefano Virgilli (Adobe Certified Expert (ACE) Design Master CS4 @ LAB School: http://lab.edu.sg/ ) will shock you with evidences.
Everything you knew about printing and digital imaging may fall apart in front of your very own eyes!

This presentation covers some of the basics of color gamut, including the differences between sRGB and Adobe RGB and different steps photographers and designers should take to get the most out of their photos and imagery.
➢Color plays a vital role in the design and everyday
life.
➢ It can draw your eye to an image.
➢ Sometimes it can trigger an emotional response.
It can even communicate something important
without using words at all.
Color is the light wavelengths that the human
the eye receives and processes from a reflected
source.
Who’s the Boss? Strengthening the Effectiveness of Capacity-Development Support Dr Lendy Spires
The concept of accountability is generally understood as an obligation on a person, group or institution to justify decisions or actions taken. Though seemingly straight-forward, the concept proves elusive in the field of devel-opment cooperation. Being accountable is highly context-dependent and goes far beyond formal accounting on paper. It involves presenting an “account” in the sense of justifying one’s actions, as well as more formal “account-ing” on those elements on which objective and standar-dised facts can be established (Pritchett 2013). The importance of accountability was recognised during the High Level Forum in Busan. Its outcome document uses the term 16 times and identifies it as one of four core principles for effective cooperation: “Mutual accountability and accountability to the intended beneficiaries of our cooperation, as well as to our respective citizens, organisations, constituents and shareholders, is critical to delivering results. Transparent practices form the basis for enhanced account-ability.” To improve accountability, providers and recipients of development cooperation also committed to strengthen effective institutions in developing countries, with em-phasis on support to capacity development. CD is under-stood as a process whereby people and organisations strengthen their ability to manage affairs successfully. It is an endogenous process that can be supported from the outside only to a limited extent. Donors provide significant amounts of CD support to de-veloping countries, mostly in the form of technical cooperation (TC), which in 2011 amounted to US$ 17.7 billion, or roughly 13 per cent of global ODA. CD support is also provided as a component part of larger bilateral development interventions. In addition, substantial TC is provided by multilateral organisations, non-governmental stakeholders and South-South cooperation providers. Through these sources, developing countries gain access to training, twinning, studies and especially short- to long-term expertise. Competing accountability needs and goals CD support relates to and is shaped by a complex web of accountability relations. Figure 1 shows that once external support is provided, the accountability relations from developing-country stakeholders to their constituents are accompanied by accountability relations to donors.
At House of Flags we love colour and understand how important it is to get the best quality print on your products.
Our in-house print specialists know that there are many factors which can affect colour when printing,
for example: material and types of printing process used.
We have discussed Quality Assurance last week, now let’s move on to Digital Printing. Digital printing is a method of printing from a digital-based image directly to a variety of media. It usually refers to professional printing where small-run jobs from desktop publishing and other digital sources are printed using large-format and/or high-volume laser or inkjet printers.
Digital printing machines can print on everything from thick cardstock, heavyweight papers and folding cartons to fabric, plastics and synthetic substrates.
Digital printing continues to grow in popularity and as technology continues to improve, so does the quality of the work. With short turnarounds, lower cost and high-quality output, digital printing is a great solution for many projects you have.

“What you see is not always what you get”
Truer words were never spoken when it comes to managing
expectations for printed material. The following presentation gives an overview of print realities, and sets out guidelines to help navigate the complex world of print.
