A printing technique that prints overlapping objects without mixing inks. The ink for the underlying elements does not print (knocks out) in the ares where the object overlaps.
A printing technique that prints overlapping objects without mixing inks. The ink for the underlying element does not print (knocks out) in the area where the objects overlap. Opposite of overprinting.
When two colours print on top of each other, one colour is removed so that overprinting doesn't occur. This knockout allows the second colour to print on blank paper rather than on top of another ink, which would change its colour.
A colored area that has been removed so another color can be printed in that area. This keeps the first layer of ink from overprinting the other.
The process of removing the portion of a background color that lies underneath an object so that the object color will not mix with the background color during printing.
A printing process used to \"knockout\" an area of the background color by a foreground object that has been masked off. The background area being masked off does not print.
A printing term that refers to the technique of preparing a color separation to produce a transparent area on the film. This typically occurs when one process color overlaps a second causing the bottom color not to print. to top
When an image is reversed out of a background color.
a blank area created on a color plate to prevent unwanted mixing of colors
To mask out an image; Because printing inks are not completely opaque, printing one ink over another will create a third colour. To avoid this, a knockout, or unprinted area, in the shape of the foreground object is left in the colour plates that make up the background. The danger is that a gap may appear between the foreground object and its background if misregistration occurs during printing
A shape printed by eliminating all background colours
Knockout is a trapping related term. It refers to the process where two colours print exactly next to each other, without overlap - hence no trapping has been applied. The danger with object knocking out is misregister, which allows white space to show between the objects.
An area where a layer of spot- or process color is deleted from layers of color below. This deletion may be transparent allowing the background to show through, or may be filled with the expected background color a piece of art will be placed upon. Commonly referred to as knock out to background (KOBG).
The absence of ink in a specified area, so that the color of an object printing on top of it is not altered.
A space left in a document for the later insertion of some form of graphic image. The term knockout is also used to refer to “white type” or, in other words, type that prints as a reverse, or, in fact, does not really print at all, allowing the color of the page to show through a background in the shape of type.
An area on a spot color overlay in which an area of overlapping color is deleted from the background color. Back to Previous Page
In printing, when one color is to be printed immediately adjacent to another color; actually they are printed with a slight overlap. See Lap register.
The section of an image that has been removed. When two colors overlap, they usually do not print on top of each other. The bottom color is “knocked out of†or removed from the area where the overlapping occurs. Knockout type is usually text that is knocked out of a dark background so that the type appears in the same color as the paper. See also "trapping".
An area of a printed piece in which the first color ink does not print and a second ink then prints into the same area.
When type or line art is printed over a photograph or coloured background, the best way to produce a consistent colour is to reverse the type or artwork out of the background and then drop in the desired colour. This process is referred to as knocking out.
part of an image that is purposely eliminated so another image can be printed.
