Introduction A new way to look at documents One of the greatest advantages of digital colour applications and systems is that they allow high-quality colour process printing to be produced in smaller quantities at a higher frequency, as well as personally tailored printing to optimise customer interaction. Digital printing technology changes the way we think about and create documents. Limitless possibilities are now accessible for full-colour, near-offset quality printing at a reasonable price.
• Section 4 includes information on how to submit jobs to a DocuColor solution, directly from software applications on Windows or Macintosh personal computers, over the web, using removable media, or other means. Use this section to make sure you get the job to the printer trouble-free every time. • Section 5 describes how to select the right paper to get optimum results from the DocuColor 2045 and 2060. It includes a guide to all paper grades available in the market today.
1 Digital print Digital technology has changed many facets of business and industry today. Computing and communications technology has allowed companies to revolutionise the manufacturing process – from producing goods and then hoping to sell them, to just-intime production, where products are sold first and then manufactured to order, reducing waste, inventory and cost.
What truly distinguishes digital printing from traditional printing is the ability to print every page differently. This is something that offset presses – including DI presses – cannot do. Offset presses can only print exact replicas of the same sheet, again and again. The digital colour presses that dominate the market now – and for the foreseeable future – are all toner based.
digital print Digital print workflow The entire process for the production of a printed document can be broken-down into three phases: prepress (which includes all steps after the design is completed up to the point where the job is printing), press or printing (the printing phase), and postpress or finishing (all the steps required to finish the job after printing and before distribution). Digital printing has greatly simplified two of these phases: prepress and press.
DIGITAL PRINT WORKFLOW C M YK CAPTIONS TO BE SUPPLIED different RIPs are used) and colours will not match exactly. A proof can be produced on a digital device (like a DocuColor printer or inkjet or dye sublimation system) or using a photomechanical system (like Cromalin). The advantage of digital systems is that they have a lower cost and quicker turnaround, and they better fit the digital workflow most use today.
digital print Press The job is now at the stage where it’s ready to be printed. If the job is being printed on a DocuColor 2045 or 2060, the operator will have calibrated the press earlier in the day and loaded the right paper. The job is then RIPped (using the appropriate settings) and printed. It doesn’t matter whether you want 1 copy or a thousand, the process is the same. On an offset press, the operator needs to set the press to make it ready for printing (called makeready).
With the DocuColor 2045 and 2060, you’ll make the change to the file and re-submit the job. The printer will re-RIP the job and print it. Done. With the traditional offset process, you would also change the file and re-submit the job. Now the printer will have to create a new set of film, new plates, set the press up again, and then start printing. More steps for something to go wrong and more waste produced.
digital print The DocuColor 2045 and 2060 now allow consumers of print to have high quality colour work printed cost effectively on short runs – anywhere from a one-off up to 2,000 copies. You no longer have to buy long print runs to drive unit costs down. Because a digital press prints each page differently, you can even print one book at-atime in a single print run.
As the life cycle of products gets shorter and shorter, it means that with digital print you will always have the latest, most up-to-date, accurate and relevant support material and publications. It allows you to frequently update the content of your printed material and print small batches of the latest version, avoiding the distribution of incorrect or out-of-date material.
digital print Variable information printing A unique characteristic of digital print is the ability to print every page differently. Not only does this mean you can print a multi-page document (like a book) in a single print run, but you can also personalise each sheet or page to an individual. It is achieved by changing certain text (like name and address) and/or images on the page.
Use of colour Colour attracts attention, increases impact, stimulates emotions, and touches us where pure reason and intellect do not. Use of colour in documents improves understanding and comprehension, helps organise data, and aids the reader in decision-making, learning, retention and recall. Numerous studies back the power of colour.
2 Image reproduction process The DocuColor 2045 and 2060 are digital colour presses with the ability to produce superb print quality on a broad range of paper stocks. This section includes a description of the technology that’s built into the presses that allows them to deliver on their promise as well as providing information on some of the capabilities of the DocuColor 2000 Series that will help you in designing documents for the press.
Digital Blanket Significant improvements in image quality can be attributed to the Digital Blanket used in the DocuColor 2000 Series. The Digital Blanket passes under the four printing stations where the image is transferred to the blanket. The four colours of the image are assembled on the blanket – one on top of another in perfect register – and then transferred to the paper in a single pass when the blanket passes under a pressure roller.
image reproduction process TRACS To ensure consistency from first print to last, the DocuColor 2000 Series utilises a technology called TRACS (Toner Reproduction Auto Correction System). TRACS automatically measures 16 levels of density and colour, and makes adjustments on the fly. TRACS works by placing CMYK density patches directly on the Digital Blanket between pages as they circulate through the machine.
Print speeds of the DocuColor 2060 are as follows (in images per minute): A4 64 – 80 gsm: 81 – 135 gsm: 136 – 220 gsm: 221 – 280 gsm: 45 ipm 60 ipm 30 ipm 22.5 ipm A3 30 30 15 15 ipm ipm ipm ipm SRA3 22.5 ipm 30 ipm 15 ipm 7.5 ipm The DocuColor 2045 prints slower than the 2060. Print speeds are as follows (in images per minute): A4 64 – 80 gsm: 81 – 105 gsm: 106 – 150 gsm: 151 – 280 gsm: 45 ipm 45 ipm 30 ipm 22.5 ipm A3 30 30 15 15 ipm ipm ipm ipm SRA3 22.5 ipm 30 ipm 15 ipm 7.
image reproduction process Image size/paper size The DocuColor 2045 and 2060 accept standard paper sizes of A4, A3 and SRA3. They will also accept non-standard paper sizes, from 182 mm to 320 mm in height, and 182 mm to 488 mm in width. The DocuColor 2045 and 2060 will print to within 4 mm of each paper edge. The following table provides the imageable area for different paper sizes.
The DocuColor 2045 and 2060 use a calibrated 200 cluster dot screen, as default, to achieve their crisp image quality. Four other screens are available (600 fixed line, 300 fixed line, 200 rotated line and 150 cluster dot) for specific customer effects. For example, the 600 screen could be used for pages containing only text, the 150 cluster dot could be used to ‘soften’ a greyscale image. A highly magnified picture of the 200 cluster dot screen is shown below for three input density levels.
image reproduction process Gamut The gamut (or range of colours) that the human eye can see is much larger than the range of colours that can be reproduced in a photograph, on a television or computer display, or in print. Also, every device capable of reproducing colour has a different gamut. The gamut of an RGB computer display is larger than the CMYK gamut of a DocuColor 2000 Series system, which in turn is larger than the CMYK gamut of an offset press.
Process colours Process colours are produced by printing overlapping screens of cyan, magenta, yellow and black. Since the DocuColor 2045 and 2060 do not print “spot” colour like an offset press, you have the ability to mix and blend variations of CMYK to create virtually limitless colour palettes. Refer to Appendix 3 for examples of some of the CMYK colours the DocuColor 2045 and 2060 can produce.
3 Designing documents Graphic designers today have a broad choice of mediums they can use to communicate ideas and designs, including traditional print technologies – like litho, gravure or flexo – or newer technologies, like the web, multi-media CD, or digital colour presses. Every medium presents its own set of challenges for the design community. For example, with offset presses you need to consider issues like sheet size, screening used, ink density and dot gain.
Image considerations Whether your original image is a transparency, photographic print or digital file, the image characteristics you start with will have a major impact on the end results. As with any other high quality print medium, the lower the quality of your source image, the poorer the quality of your reproduction. There is simply no substitute for quality images. Most common layout programs (QuarkXPress, InDesign, PageMaker) can be used to supply artwork for the DocuColor 2045 and 2060.
designing documents 300dpi 225dpi 150dpi 72dpi 3-3
Where offset has a total ink limit of around 350%, digital printing has a lower limit of around 280%. This requires images to have UCR or GCR applied either at the time of scanning, or when they are RIPped. If you scan images with UCR, do so with a maximum ink limit of 280%. The Creo and Fiery RIPs used with the DocuColor 2000 Series will automatically apply ink reductions to jobs when RIPping and limit ink to 280% (or any other amount with the Creo). This ink reduction does not affect image quality.

SRA3 paper size 320 x 450mm Image area 312 x 442mm Maximum paper size 320 x 488mm Image area 312 x 480mm Bleed is recommended to be at least 3 mm all around to allow for any front to back image skew on the DocuColor 2045 and 2060 (which has tolerance of 1 to 1.5 mm). Folding any stock can result in paper cracking on the spine, therefore it is recommended that for best results, all sheets that are to be folded be run through a scoring unit.
designing documents Specifying colours The DocuColor 2045 and 2060 print using process colours, ie, a mix of cyan, magenta, yellow and black. You have the ability to mix and blend variations of CMYK to create virtually limitless colour palettes. Refer to Appendix 3, CMYK colour charts, for examples of some of the combinations you can choose. Even though the DocuColor 2045 and 2060 cannot run spot colours, they can convert Pantone colours into CMYK process colours on the fly during the RIP stage.

Vignettes Vignettes, blends, and gradients (all essentially the same – basically one colour blending into another) are often seen in documents these days. That’s because it’s so easy to create them – simply click on the appropriate dialog box in your application, specify your colours, and go. Blends may print poorly on some digital presses which are prone to banding. (Banding can occur because electronic charges or toner particles may not always be evenly distributed.
designing documents Try restricting vignettes to smaller areas (less than 180 mm) rather than full page vignettes. Try adding “noise” to a raster vignette (eg, use the “Add Noise” filter in Photoshop). Create vignettes in Photoshop rather than Quark Xpress for better quality blends. Text With the DocuColor 2045 and 2060, you can use both PostScript and True Type fonts. You’ll notice that all text will appear sharp, even when using small point sizes.

designing documents Solid blacks Large areas of solid black can often appear washed out, whether printed on an offset or digital press. Also, when overprinting text, underlying colours and patterns can show through. To avoid these issues, use a black that has been mixed with other colours for added punch. When designing your document, use a ‘super black’ (or ‘rich black’) such as K100, C50, M40, Y40. Below are some ‘super black’ examples.
Image mottle Uneven spotty ink or toner coverage, called mottling, can occur when printing large solid areas of flat mid tone colours, especially one colour black. Paper choice can be critical in avoiding this problem. For the DocuColor press, a good, smooth paper stock should be used. See Section 5, Selecting paper stock, for more information. Avoiding mid brown and green colours can help reduce this artifact along with the use of different screens available with the DocuColor 2045 and 2060.
designing documents Trapping is a technique in which adjacent colours slightly overprint each other to help minimise the effects of possible misregistration. The DocuColor 2000 Series presses have excellent plate to plate registration. For many layouts, it is unnecessary to design for separations.
Creating PDFs Acrobat PDF can be a very convenient format for delivering files to print – you simply hand off the file without having to worry about including fonts, linked images, etc. However, you have to make sure the PDF is made with the correct settings in ‘Distiller’ and that it is set up to run correctly from ‘Reader’ to the DocuColor 2045 or 2060.
designing documents Dot gain Dot gain is the tendency for halftone dots to become larger and appear darker because of wet ink spreading when it comes into contact with paper. It is a real issue with offset presses and inkjet printers, but is not a problem with the DocuColor 2045 and 2060. Design elements to avoid The following are elements you should avoid in your designs for the DocuColor 2045 and 2060.
DocuColor 2000 series design guide 3 - 24
designing documents Large areas of solid colour Large solid areas of colour will always present a challenge for a press, whether it is offset or digital. The DocuColor 2045 and 2060 are capable of producing great results when it comes to flat tints, however, particular colours – like C100, M70 – can show up with banding in the solid area.
Coated stock and large white text on heavy background When printing white text on a heavy background on gloss or coated stock, faint ghosting may occur. What causes this is the BeltNip fuser maintaining an oil coating when white non image areas are put through the fuser. On second side printing, this non image area can be coated with extra oil causing a ghost image to become evident. To avoid this, care should be taken when designing solid colour or black areas not to use reversed (white) text.
5 Selecting paper stock With any print job, it’s important to understand that paper quality has a direct relationship to print quality. No matter whether you’re printing offset, on a digital press, or at home on an inkjet, this is, and always will be, the case. Also, paper represents a significant proportion of the cost of a job, and can account for between one-third and one-half of the final cost of the printed work.
Paper influences on print quality Variables in the papermaking process can influence the quality and performance of the finished paper. While some variables are controlled to create specific stocks, other may result in imperfections. Formation Formation is how fibres are distributed on a sheet. Poor fibre formation can cause mottle or uneven, spotty ink/toner distribution in images with high solid area coverage. To gain insight into the formation of paper, hold a sample sheet up to a light.
selecting paper stock Weight This is a measure of the weight of paper or stock, in grams per square metre (gsm), and is another important consideration in paper selection. Most office papers are around 80 or 90 gsm, and are normally used for correspondence. Heavier sheets, used for covers and business cards, are often thicker because they contain more fibres. These papers may sometimes be too thick or rigid to pass through the paper path of the DocuColor 2060.
may be used in digital printing equipment, there are some limitations to the performance of coated stocks with this technology. Coating materials used in the manufacture of these papers can impact performance and reliability (ie, smearing, blurring, stretching and flaking). Moisture and offset Offset printing is essentially a wet process where papers run at approximately 6% moisture content.
selecting paper stock Thick paper stocks Image quality on recommended heavy weight stocks is often excellent, but cannot always be expected to match the image quality on 100 gsm Colotech+ paper. Degradation in image quality is more likely to occur as paper weight increases. The rough formation of heavy weight papers increases the possibility of mottle with some images, particularly those with uniform halftone areas (ie, flat tints).
Optical paper qualities that influence image quality The performance of toner and ink are affected by the following paper characteristics: shade, opacity, brightness, and reflectivity. Shade Paper shades may change the appearance of colour images because toner and ink are applied in dot patterns (or screens) which allow a certain amount of the paper colour to show through. Paper shade can also vary significantly among brands.
selecting paper stock Reflectivity When toner or ink is applied to a smooth surface, the resulting image is sharper because the image is reflected back in a straightforward direction. Images resulting from toner or ink applied to a rough surface are not as sharp because the image reflection is scattered in several directions. Select smoother, more reflective surfaces for sharper images.
Paper grades When you order paper, it’s important to know the differences between papers so that you’ll know what to ask for. Professionals divide papers into large categories or grades according to their end use, method of printing, and pulp content. The following tables summarise the major grades available, as well as providing a digital comparison. BOND Type Forms or register bond Definition • Business forms and computer paper.

Edge quality is important in order to avoid contamination within machine and cross contamination to high coverage image areas.
Paper handling and storage Papers for digital printing are manufactured with a lower moisture content than offset papers. For optimum printing, this controlled moisture content of paper needs to be maintained. Because paper absorbs or sheds moisture rapidly, it’s important to keep paper wrapped in its moisture-proof packaging for as long as possible before use. Avoid opening a new ream of paper until you are ready to use it.
selecting paper stock Wrap-up Paper has a direct relationship to print quality – the better the paper, the better the results. Specify paper that has been designed for digital printing. Select paper that has good formation. Use smooth or coated finishes for documents that have fine detail, shaded areas or halftone images. Select a true white paper for truer colours and more natural looking skin tones. For documents with large amounts of toner or ink coverage, use papers with higher opacity.

6 Binding and finishing Outside of the commercial print world, a vital part of a document’s lifecycle is often overlooked. Many people believe a document is completed once the pages leave the printer, disregarding the finishing process altogether. Yet advancements in binding and finishing processes are just as revolutionary as those found in the rest of the printing marketplace.
Scoring Scoring is generally used when a fold needs to be made against the paper grain, or when jobs are printed on middle to heavy weight stocks that require folding. Scoring involves a long blunt edged rule that presses firmly down on a document, causing a crease in the paper. The paper is folded over the crease, reducing the chances of cracking. If possible, avoid placing an image where a fold is to take place, and try to design the document so that the fold occurs in the direction of the paper grain.
binding and finishing An accordion fold is when two or more parallel folds are made in reversing directions. Gate folds are useful for brochures and book covers because they create a pair of foldouts.
Binding Saddle stitching Saddle stitching is the most common and least expensive binding and is best suited to low page count publications. In a saddle stitched publication, the signatures are opened and straddled across a metal right angle plate called a saddle. In small quantities, saddle stitching can be performed with a stapler, however it is most commonly accomplished on high speed automated binding equipment.
binding and finishing Edition binding The conventional method of bookbinding, producing "hardback" books. Signatures are collated in sequence, endleaves pasted on the first and last signature, and then sewn together. The book is then trimmed on three edges, the spine (or backbone) roughed up and rounded (to lay flat when opened), and glue applied. At the same time, the covers (or cases) are prepared separately. The book is then put into its case and pasted together.
Mechanical binding Mechanical binding includes an array of devices that can be used to hold a final document together, including spiral binding, plastic binding, and coil binding. Holes or slots are drilled or cut along one gutter edge and wire or plastic binding is inserted. When opened, these bindings allow pages to lie flat. Some even allow for a full 360 degree rotation of the pages. Mechanical binding is often used for training manuals, notebooks, calendars, and technical manuals.
binding and finishing Finishing touches Trimming Trimming is generally performed on a guillotine cutter after binding. Documents are placed in the gutter, with the bound side away from the knife. The knife is lined up to the desired edge of the document in position, and the knife cuts off the unnecessary margin between the edge of the document and the edge of the paper. Three-knife trimming machines trim the remaining non-bound edges of a publication.
Varnish Another tool that can be used to protect documents from abrasion is varnishing. It can also be used as a design tool to enhance a document’s appearance. Depending on the desired effect, gloss or matte (dull) varnish can be applied to an entire document (flood coverage) to give it a smooth overall finish, or specific portions of a page (spot coverage) to highlight some parts of the document while de-emphasising others.
binding and finishing Double-sided printing The DocuColor 2060 is capable of automatically duplex printing on up to 220 gsm media. During automatic duplex printing mode the machine will make printing process control changes during the side 2 pass, in an attempt to closely match the image on side 1. These make printing process control changes are necessary because the paper will be drier and hotter than it was during the first pass and therefore have different electrostatic properties.

APPENDIX 1: Microsoft Office colour charts All Microsoft Office applications (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access, etc.) work in the RGB colour space. The RGB gamut is much broader than the gamut of a process colour printer or press. Consequently, many colours available in Microsoft Office applications cannot be reproduced on a process colour device.
The first chart below shows the basic standard palette of 40 colours available in Microsoft Office applications. It also includes the additional standard colours used in Microsoft Excel and Microsoft Chart for chart fills and chart lines.
microsoft office colour charts The next chart shows the same colours with the name Microsoft uses for each colour.
The next chart shows which of these standard Microsoft Office colours are out of gamut, ie, those that cannot be reproduced on a DocuColor 2060. Because there are many variables associated with colour reproduction, it is not possible to absolutely determine whether a Microsoft Office colour will or will not reproduce accurately. Therefore the following chart also highlights those colours where acceptable results may be achieved. (Note that not all of these colours may be reproduced simultaneously.
microsoft office colour charts The following chart shows the extended standard colour palette available in Microsoft Office applications. It includes the names of the 40 basic standard colours where they appear on the palette.
The last chart shows the same extended standard colour palette with out of gamut colours highlighted, ie, those colours that cannot be reproduced on a DocuColor 2060. Because there are many variables associated with colour reproduction, it is not possible to absolutely determine whether a Microsoft Office colour will or will not reproduce accurately. Therefore the following chart also highlights those colours where acceptable results may be achieved.
APPENDIX 2: RGB colour charts The RGB colour space (or gamut) is much broader than the gamut of a process colour printer or press. Consequently, many colours available in the RGB colour space cannot be reproduced on a process colour device. A common area of discontent with customers is the issue of colour conversion from RGB to CMYK, ie, the colours they see on their display and the same colours as they appear on the printed page.

APPENDIX 3: CMYK colour charts The DocuColor 2060 prints using process colours, viz. cyan (C), magenta (M), yellow (Y) and black (K). You have the ability to mix and blend variations of CMYK to create virtually limitless colour palettes. The following charts provide examples of mixtures of CMYK that you can use to select colours. Two types of sample charts are provided. On the left hand side is a chart with a fixed percentage of yellow and a mixture of cyan and magenta in 10% increments (from 0% to 100%).

APPENDIX 4: Pantone colour charts The DocuColor 2060 is not capable of printing spot colours. However, it can convert Pantone colours into CMYK process colours on the fly during the RIP stage. Both the Fiery and CreoScitex RIPs will convert Pantone colours into process colours, but their conversion algorithms are slightly different.

Glossary 1/0 “One over zero” refers to printing with one colour on one side of a sheet, leaving the other side blank. 2-up/4-up/8-up The number of images printed on one side of a sheet. 4/0 “Four over zero” refers to printing with four colours on one side of a sheet of paper, leaving the other side blank. 4/4 “Four over four” refers to four colour printing on both sides of a sheet.
Bleed An image that extends to all four edges of a page. The extra amount of the image that is printed on a sheet beyond the crop marks (the sheet is then trimmed to size). Calendered Paper that has been passed through a series of stainless steel rollers that produce a very smooth finish to the paper. Calibration A procedure to set equipment (such as displays, printers, presses, and scanners) to a standard level to ensure predictable results.
glossary Colour rendering dictionary A lookup table in PostScript that describes how to map colour from one device to another. Also called CRD. Colour separations A full colour image broken down into a series of single colour images of the primary printing colours. This is most often the four process colour images (CMYK), but may also include spot or specialty colours. Colour space The range of colours that can be seen, displayed or printed. Also called gamut.
Crossover Occurs when an image is printed on two adjacent pages in a publication so readers perceive a single, unbroken image. Customisation A form of variable information printing. Used to describe a document that has been customised to its audience. Generally a common document template is used with different messages and content based on customer preferences. See personalisation, versioning. Delta-E A scientific measurement for the difference between two colours.
glossary Electrophotography The image transfer system used in printers and copiers where images are produced using electrostatic forces. Electrical charges are used to create an image on a photoconductive surface to which toner is attracted. The toner is then transferred and fused to paper. Embossing A process in which paper is pressed between two dies to raise a portion of the printed image, creating a three dimensional image on the page. EPS Short for Encapsulated PostScript.
Grain Grain direction is the orientation of fibres with respect to the long edge of the paper. For example, in an A4 sheet, the fibres of a long grain sheet are parallel to the 297 mm dimension of the page (the pages of a short grain sheet are parallel to the 210 mm dimension). Graininess Weak image (on an offset print) with a granular look caused by ink becoming waterlogged and caked. Grammage The weight in grams of one square metre of paper (abbreviated to gsm).
glossary Impressions per hour Impressions per minute The term most commonly used with offset printing for measuring print speed. One impression can consist of multiple images on a large sheet that will be cut into smaller sized sheets after being printed. The term most commonly used with offset printing for measuring print speed. One impression can consist of multiple images on a large sheet that will be cut into smaller sized sheets after being printed.
Looseleaf binding A binding method that includes drilling holes into a paper’s edge to be easily inserted into binders. lpi Short for lines per inch. See screen frequency. LUT Short for lookup table. Makeready All work required to set up a press for printing. This can include loading plates, paper, ink or toner, as well as adjustments to the press. Very little required in digital printing.
glossary provides for automatic replacement of low-resolution placeholder images with high-resolution images. Overprint When printing a shape or type in colour, the shape prints over whatever colours have already been printed. This can result in a shift of colour due to overlapping ink or toner. Page One side of a sheet of paper. Both together are called a sheet or leaf. Page description language A programming language used to describe how type and graphics should be produced on a printer.
Preflight A step in the prepress process used to test every component of a job to ensure it will print correctly. This can include fonts, image files and links, colour gamut, etc. Prepress All operations in the print production process that take place up to the point where the job is sent to the RIP of a digital printer (or where plates are made for an offset press). It starts after the design of a job is completed.
glossary Rosette The (acceptable) dot cluster formation that is created in four-colour images. RTP Short for ready to print. A file that has been ripped Runnability Describes the ease with which paper moves through the printing press or printer. A paper that performs well on the press (dust free, ideal moisture content, no curves or waves, trimmed correctly, and troublefree feeding). S/G Short for short grain.
Sheet-fed press A printing press, either digital or offset, that prints on cut sheets of paper. Sheets per hour A term commonly used to describe the speed of binding and folding operations. Short edge feed The shortest edge of the paper is fed into the printer first. Short grain Paper in which the orientation of fibres is parallel to the shortest edge of the sheet. For example, in an A4 sheet, the fibres of a short grain sheet are parallel to the 210 mm dimension of the page.
glossary Stock A term used to refer to all types of paper, transparencies, and other printable materials. Also called media or substrate. Streaking Undesirable artifacts caused by linear irregularities in ink or toner transfer. Substrate A term used to refer to all types of paper, transparencies, and other printable materials. Also called media or stock. Swatch A sample book, usually of available printed colours (such as spot or Pantone colours).
Varnish A finishing process in which a coating, or varnish, is applied over the printed area (or whole page) to protect it or enhance its visual appeal. Vector An image file that uses mathematical formulae to describe lines and curves. Versioning A form of variable information printing. Several versions of a document are created based on certain target criteria (such as demographics or purchase history).
