Raster Image Processor (RIP) - A combination of computer software and hardware that controls the printing
process by calculating the bit maps of images and instructs the printing device to create the images. Most
RIPs operate on PostScript.
Resolution - The DPI or dots per inch of a design. Measured by how many dots or pixels are in one inch of a
design. The measurement of the fineness or detail. The higher the resolution the finer the detail in an image
Satellites - Small droplets of jetting fluid generated behind the main drop as the main drop detaches from
the nozzle.
Substrate - Any surface on which printing is done.
Tagged Image File Format (TIFF) - A standard graphic image file format often used for storing high
resolution images that can easily handle up to 24 bits of photographic image color.
Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) - is an open communications protocol
implemented on diverse systems and the Internet and is the preferred protocol for practical interoperability.
Varnish - A clear liquid coating applied to printed sheet for protection and glossiness.
Varnishing - a finishing process whereby a transparent varnish is applied over the printed sheet to produce
glossy finish.
