A layout artist may make FPO scans on a FLATBED SCANNER to use to create the page; the SERVICE BUREAU will then create the final high-resolution scans on a DRUM SCANNER and place them in the file in place of the low-resolution FPO scans.
Low-resolution image file used for layout purposes prior to creating film.
Abbrevation For Position Only. Low-quality art is placed in position to indicate placement and size of the camera ready piece. An FPO is not intended for reproduction but only as a guide for the prepress service provider.
Acronym for For Position Only, a term applied to low-quality art reproductions used to indicate placement and scaling of an art element on mechanicals or camera-ready artwork. In digital publishing, an FPO can be low-resolution TIFF files that are later replaced with high-resolution versions. An FPO is not intended for reproduc-tion but only as a guide and placeholder for the prepress service provider.
The required position of a graphic, illustration, or photo that is to be inserted into a file on a high-end prepress system or directly to the film itself.
For position only. A low-resolution image file that is used for layout purposes before creating film.
For Position Only. Low resolution temporary image that is replaced before file is imaged.
The temporary placement of a low-quality/low-resolution illustration or some other marker in the required location and size on the camera-ready copy to indicate where an actual image is to be placed on the final film or plate.
