Ugh...
When will this end?! @_@
I'm telling you, there is NO ONE who wants a break as much as I do right now. School sucks, I'm sick of this mess... *sighs* But I gotta do what I gotta do, right? So let's get to it! ~_~

What is duotones and what program can only use them?:
Duotones is a special process that allows you to mix two different colors together in a photo, each color capable of 50 levels, which can significantly increase the depth of the picture. Adobe Photoshop can only use duotones.
What is varnish?:
Varnish - is a printed coat of shellac or plastic, clear ink.
What is embossing?:
Embossing - pressed into the paper, involves metal dye, pressure and heat.
What is foil stamping use on?:
Foil stamping is only used on thick paper.
List the items in the service bureau:
1). Native File - This is the page layout file that contains the text and graphics for projects; this is the document you want to output. Programs such as PageMaker, Illustrator, XPress and FreeHand can all be used as page layout programs, depending on the project.
2). Graphic Files - Include any scanes, illustrations and clip art you placed into the page layout.
3). Fonts - You must include each and every font that is in the document. As discussed earlier, even if a service bureau has font with the same name, it does't mean that it is exactly the same font!
4). Applications - You don't have to send the service bureau the application itself-- they own the current versions of all the major desktop publishing software packages.
5). Preferences - A service bureau may request that you send the application's preferences file. This ensures that the setup of the application on their computer is as close as possible to yours. Check with the service bureau first; if they need them, ask where the preferences file for your particular application is found.
6). Hardcopy - Always include hard copy from your desktop printer. This helps the service bureau know what to expect and will help them recognize problems if something goes wrong. Write notes on the hard copy to indicate colors, special things to watch out for, etc.
What is trapping?:
Trapping - the process that prevents those gaps from appearing. When trapping is applied to objects with different colors, it builds in a small overlap--instead of two colors butting right up next to each other, the trap builds a thin line where they actually really overlap. This overlap is slightly noticeable because the two colors are printed on top of each other, but it is much less noticeable than a white gap.
What is a knockout?:
Knockout - When you make separations for your file, the top objects knocks a hole in the bottom object. The hole is called a knockout. When the two color plates are registered correctly, the top object sits perfectly inside the knockout. When the two color plates are misregistered, the top object is slightly off from the knockout, creating the slight gap. Ex. If the paper is white, you see a white gap.
What is an overprint?:
Overprint - doesn't remove anything, makes a new color.
What is a spread?:
Spread - enlarging one object slightly.
What is a choke?:
Choke - shrinking one object slightly.
What is reader spreads and printer spreads?:
Reader Spreads - the order in which the pages will be read.
Printer Spreads - the actual order in which the pages will be reproduced.
What is the two kinds of binding?:
1). Perfect Binding - any document that has a spine.
2). Saddle-stitched: any docments with staples.
What is imposition?:
Imposition - the final position of the pages, set up in printer's spreads.
What is signatures?:
Signatures - projects like books and lengthy newsletters are printed in unites called signatures.

I'll get back to this after I eat lunch. I need a mental break anyways. XD
