Spot Color: On press jobs, specific colors of ink are loaded in the press to add color to a printed piece.
4-Color Process: Magenta, cyan, yellow and black inks are screened and combined to create a complete spectrum of color. CESD prints spot color and can outsource 4-color process.
Bleed: Oversize images printed on larger stock than finished piece. Excess is trimmed to form a page on which the image runs to the cut edge.
Collate: Printed pages put into desired sequence.
Drill: Hole punch 1, 2, or 3 holes.
Padding: Bound with a padding compound, one edge of a stack of sheets on a cardboard base sheet.
NCR Glue: Individual NCR forms are bound into sets. Sets may be padded after gluing, if desired.
Stack: Printed pieces are copied and stacked only. No collating, stapling, or other bindery.
Trim: Items are cut to finished size, such as multiple images on a single page to maximize stock usage.
