Cohesive Strength The internal strength of an adhesive, often determined by the force required to split or

separate it internally.

Conformability The ability of a material to adjust itself to the contours of a surface.

Curl The tendency of a paper or laminate to bend around the axis of one of its main directions.

Cyan, magenta, yellow The subtractive (process) primaries

DPI Dots per inch.

Decal Decals are laminated prints with some adhesive applied to the back.

Dimensional Stability The ability of a material to retain its original dimensions when subjected to specific

exposure conditions.

Dither The process of distributing dots to create the appearance of a solid hue and tint. The dither

patterns used in inkjet printing will determine the sharpness, color, contrast, and saturation

of a print.

Durability The time period a graphic will retain an acceptable appearance for its intended use under

the specific exposure conditions (eg. indoor, moderate = normal office environment with

limited window exposure and outdoor, moderate = climate with mild temperature ranges,

low humidity, and minimal ambient UV and pollution exposure).

Elongation Increase in length of material brought on by extending it to breaking point.

Emulsion A dispersion of fine particles or globule of a liquid normally incompatible.

Encapsulate When the top and bottom laminates extend past the edge of a print, they form a bond that

seals out dirt and moisture. This aids in outdoor durability. Proper temperature and pressure

required for an even, permanent seal.

Error diffusion Most common method of creating a dither pattern for electrostatic prints. This method uses

statistical analysis to reduce patterns and maximize even saturation in colors.

External bleed The amount an image extends past the desired size of a print. This extra image area allows

for errors in sizing and positioning during finishing. External bleed is measured outside the

final trim dimension of the print. An external bleed of 0.5" will create a print 1" larger

than required.
