Like chromalin proofs, these also are made chemically. They are similar to transfer keys and are created on the identical substrate, acetate. Instead of dots coexisting on the same sheet of acetate, each color--magenta (red), cyan (blue), yellow and black--is represented on a different acetate overlay. Since this acetate is virtually transparent, the combination of four overlays will make a full-color image.
Transparent sheets which when placed together show the colour break in multicoloured artwork.
A sheet of translucent paper laid over an original drawing to sketch an alternate version or design. Used for comparing two or more designs.
7,8,9,10 A transparent sheet containing additional details, such as a chart or map, that is placed on top of another transparency on an overhead projector during a presentation.
A sheet of paper or transparent material that is placed over the artwork. Sometimes this carries instructions; sometimes it bears tpng or other artwork that is intended to be combined with the artwork underneath.
a transparent covering over a artwork that indicates color designations and other instructions to the printer. Also, transparent layers of artwork which are overprinted to create a composite image.
Clear acetate with design elements positioned on it in register to the base art. This is use for separating the different imprint colours.
A tissue over the base keyline for writing corrections and instructions such as indicating color breaks.
In artwork, a hinged piece of transparent covering over copy or other artwork intended for reproduction, often in a darker or lighter shade (see Screen), along with what lies underneath, called "base art."
A clear plastic sheet placed over a pasted-up page, containing elements that the printer needs to screen, overprint or print in another color.
Transparent paper or film placed over artwork to protect it from damage; to indicate instructions to the printing; or to show the breakdown of color in mechanical color separations.
() A translucent sheet placed over a drawing.
Transparent materials on artwork or mechanical indicating color separation and corrections.
A transparent or translucent medium upon which special military information has been plotted at the same scale of a map, photograph, or other graphic.
Printing or drawing on a transparent or translucent medium intended to be placed in register on a map or other graphic and which shows details not appearing or requiring special emphasis on the base material.
A sheet of clear or translucent material containing components of a piece of combination art (such as areas to be screened). It is taped onto a piece of final art (at one edge only) so that it can be checked for accuracy and folded out to be photographed separately.
A transparent acetate or vellum sheet used to prepare art work for multi-coloured printing; a flap on which colour break, instructions or corrections are marked.
In artwork, a transparent covering over the copy where color break, instructions or corrections are marked. Also, instead of dots coexisting on the same sheet of acetate, each color — magenta (red), cyan (blue), yellow and black — is represented on a different acetate overlay. Since this acetate is virtually transparent, the combination of four overlays will make a full-color image.
A frame buffer layer that can be displayed preferentially to the normal plane and supports transparency to display through to the normal plane. Overlays are useful for rubber-banding effects, text annotation, and other operations, to avoid damaging the normal plane frame buffer state. Overlays require hardware support not present on all systems.
In artwork, a transparent sheet that covers camera-ready copy and on which colour breaks or other instructions to the printer are indicated.
a transparent sheet (either clear or mylar matte film material) accompanying a map, on which information, colouring, or symbols are entered so that when the overlay is placed on the map the effect is identical to having entered the overlay information on the map, itself.
The transparent cover sheet on artwork often used for instructions.
a transparent sheet used in the preparation of multi-colour artwork showing the colour breakdown.
A transparent sheet placed over artwork, in register with the work it covers; this is used to call out other color components of the work, instructions or corrections.
Sheet of tissue or acetate taped to a mechanical to cover it.
In artwork, a transparent covering over the copy where color break, instructions or corrections are marked. Also, transparent or translucent prints which, when placed on the other form a composite picture. Back to Top P, Q
A transparent or translucent material which is fitted or registered over the base map in use for the purpose of adding information.
In artwork, a clear acetate sheet or tissue with color separated as it is to be photographed; sometimes confused with Tissue Overlay. to top
A layer of material taped to a mechanical, photo or proof. Acetate overlays are used to separate colors by having some type or art on them instead of on the mounting board. Tissue overlays are used to carry instructions about the underlying copy and to protect the base art.
1. Transparent cover to artwork containing instructions or additional detail. 2. Paper used on machine cylinder to increase pressure on solid areas of blocks.
In artwork, a transparent or translucent covering over the copy where color breaks, instructions, or corrections are marked. Concerning mailing lists, a technique of overlaying (or adding) data information from one mailing list onto (or melded into) another list. Generally done in the effort to create a highbred mailing list, or to select a special group out of the whole.The transfer can be demographics, or a telephone number, or a job function, even psychographic data on buying habits. Can be utilized for other research purposes.
The traditional style of matting where the mat board overlaps the artwork by at least 1/8 inch (3mm) on all sides.
Something that is laid over or covers something else. In a manual graphic information system, a transparent sheet containing graphic information, such as labels, symbols or colored areas, defined in a manner to expedite being viewed and interpreted in conjunction with other data overlays with a common coordinate system. In an automated spatial information system, same as a manual system except that all overlays are in a digital format for viewing and interpretation on a CRT screen. Each overlay defines a specific aspect of the spatial database. Typical overlays could include land use, soils, watershed boundaries or drainage system overlays, each of which is a single or set of multiple layers within the spatial information system. Also refers to the intersection of two polygon layers to make a third composite overlay (i.e. soils overlaid with land use to define runoff conditions).
Sheet of tissue or acetate taped to a mechanical so that it covers the mounting board.
Transparent sheet covering a piece of artwork indicating colour separations, corrections or directions to the plate maker.
A sheet of acetate or paper placed over a mechanical with instructions for the printer pertaining to color, bleeds, and other pertinent printing information.
A transparent covering, sometimes made of tissue, that is placed over a page layout for marking instructions for printing or corrections.
