Under Color Removal. A color separation setting used on color photographs where cyan, magenta and yellow inks are removed from dark, neutral areas and black ink is swapped in instead. The advantages are a reduction in overall ink usage. See also GCR.
Undercolor Removal. The process of reducing color and increasing black in areas where all three colors overprint to improve trapping and reduce ink costs. This can be achieved manually in color separation films or digitally in image editing applications.
Undercolor Removal. TA prepress term describing a technique of making color separations such that the amount of cyan, magenta and yellow ink is reduced in midtone and shadow areas while the amount of black is increased.
Technique of removing unwanted colour in separations either to reduce the amount of ink to be used, or where these colours cancel each other out in the various achromatic systems.
Undercolor removal. A method of producing a COLOR SEPARATION that removes Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow inks from dark areas of an image and replaces them with Black. UCR produces images with lower TOTAL INK than GCR, although the images typically are not as saturated or vibrant. UCR is usually used to produce CMYK images that will be printed on uncoated paper, such as newsprint.
Replacement of colour inks with black ink in shadow and neutral areas of a colour separation. Reduces "muddiness" due to excessive ink coverage.
Abbreviation for under color removal, a technique for minimizing ink coverage. When TrapWise converts RGB data to CMYK, it analyzes a bitmap image for excessive cyan, magenta or yellow in dark areas and replaces those colors with a similar percentage of black.
An acronym for Under Color Removal. This technique is used to replace a 7% or higher C to top
Under Color Removal. The process by which equal shades of cyan, magenta and yellow are removed and replaced with black, thereby reducing ink plugging and usage and improving quality. to top
Acronym for Under Color Removal. In process printing, color separations are reduced in color in neutral areas where all three colors overprint and the black separation is increased in equivalent amount in these areas. This improves trapping and can reduce make-ready and ink costs.
Undercolor removal, a color separation techniques that replaces cyan, magenta, and yellow inks in the shadow tones with black ink.
Under Colour Removal. An electronic scanning or retouching method that reduces the amount of cyan, magenta and yellow in a black area and increase the amount of black. This improves trapping in printing and reduces ink costs.
Under Color Removal. Reducing the cyan, magenta, and yellow inks independently within the darkest neutral shadow areas in an image reproduction and replacing them with a controlled amount of black to reduce the total tonal density. The three colors are reduced so the shadows have better detail, improved trapping, and more consistent reproduction.
Under colour removal. To improve trapping and reduce ink costs in process colour printing, colour is reduced in areas on colour separation films and black film is increased to compensate for the amount of colour reduced.
An acronym for undercolour removal. UCR is the technique for reducing the cyan, magenta, and yellow content in neutral gray shadow areas of a reproduction and replacing them with black ink so that the reproduction will appear normal but will use less process colour ink.
Acronym for Under Colour Removal - In process multi-colour printing, colour separation films are reduced in colour in neutral areas where all three colours overprint and the black film is increased an equivalent amount in these areas. This improves trapping and can reduce makeready and ink costs.
hort for undercolor removal; reducing the cyan, magenta, and yellow inks from the darkest neutral shadow areas in an image by replacing them with black ink.
a techinque used to replace overlapping colored ink (more expensive) with black.
Color separation process in which black ink is used to replace cyan, magenta and yellow (CMY) in shadow areas where the three inks overlap, since black (K) in the combination of CMY. (Similar to GCR.)
The removal of cyan, magenta and yellow from neutral colour areas (primarily shadow tones) and their replacement with black.
Under Color Removal. Removing excessive densities of cyan, magenta and yellow in neutral shadow areas to allow for more press controllability without plugging up the shadows
nbspUnder Color Removal, color removed from yellow, magenta and cyan in an area which is more or less neutral, it helps to accommodate the varies printing methods.
