MU, IOD or abatement plenum etc.
GCR Grey Component Replacement. Black replace greys that would other-
wise be created using all three CMYK colours.
GDI Graphical Display Interface
GEL Gel (oil and ink mixture) that is removed from the drum by the metering
blade.
Ghosting A print quality artifact where a previous image can be seen on the current
image.

Gloss Variance Mainly duplex - especially at very low usage rates.
GND Ground
GPD Minidrivers A Generic Printer Description file has a function similar to PPD files. This
format was developed by Microsoft to provide a simple method to
develop drivers for non-postScript printers. Standard GPD mini drivers
share the same lamentations as the PPD mini drivers, but they too can
be enhanced using plug-ins. GPD Mini drivers are a new technology
introduced for Windows 2000 and they will also be supported Windows
NT 4. In Windows 95/98, a similar, but less powerful ‘unidriver’ format
was used.

HTD Head to drum spacing (critical specification) - also used to name the
sandwich frames of the engine block since it sets the drum and the PH
stop points of reference.

Hue Basic colour such as red, pink, blue or orange (determined by wave-
length). White, black and grey are not considered to have ‘hue’ and are
considered ‘neutral’ colours.
