Look around and you will see that architects and engineers are incorporating more color data into their designs these days. This is largely due to the flourishing influence of BIM applications such as REVIT and Bentley. Likewise, research has shown, time and again, that color details reduce mistakes and greatly increase communication as compared to the traditional black/white format. This new approach has demanded that these companies now print their plans in full-color. Most AEC companies already have a wide-format color plotter in place, but what happens with the work load exceeds the capabilities of that plotter? They could always get a second one, or a third. But, perhaps, it time for a complete paradigm shift. In that case, see how the …show more content…
When it comes to photo-quality and/or museum quality printing, traditional inkjet gives you fantastic results. Normally, high-end graphics are printed on a machine that uses 8 or 12 different color channels. The extra colors provide a much wider color-space which allows the machine to accurately replicate millions of colors. However, these are not typically the types of plotters that you find in the average architect or construction office. Conversely, the standard, general-purpose plotter uses a 4-color profile: CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black).
Of course, several variants of these CMYK-based printers exist. For example, Canon iPF printers use two different blacks, a dye and a pigment, while HP utilizes a dedicated Gray ink. However, CMYK color theory is the basic science behind both of these. Just don’t expect 12-color results out of a 4-color machine.

Toner will not streak or bleed in the case of getting wet. Most users can immediately identify with this if they are in the habit of highlighting information on a construction plan printed on an inkjet plotter.
Another beneficial aspect of toner is evident when users print a black/white image. Regarding the ColorWave system, only black TonerPearls are consumed. Nearly all inkjet printers will consume some color ink when printing black/white files. For example, HP Designjets traditionally render all grayscale with a green tint.
Unlike inkjets, the media type used in the ColorWave does not determine the final print quality. This is because CystalPoint technology enables the toner to instantly crystalize on the surface of the print media. Comparatively, Inkjet plotters require the ink to be absorbed into the media. This is why full-color inkjet prints look horrible on lower grade papers. A heavier weight substrate is needed to fully accept the extra ink needed for maps and posters. Conversely, ColorWave Océ plotters are capable of printing full-color posters on regular, 20-pound engineering bond without sacrificing any print quality.

Do you like colors? What if I asked you to make a single sharpie? Would you be able to complete that simple task without instructions? As hard as it may seem, it is actually quite simple. The process is a few simple tasks added up to a big task. Sharpie parts are first made in the molding department of a factory. These parts are then sent to the assembly department. In assembly, the logo and names are pressed onto the tubes and the pieces are put together. After assembly, they move to packaging. There, the sharpies are put in packages and shipped out as finished product.
Making a cyanotype for the first time was a fun experience. A cyanotype is blueprint (literally) that makes a silhouette of the object. It was an early kind of photograph that was created by John Herschel (Stulik, 4). As I learned the process of making the cyanotype and made two prints myself, I noticed that it is similar as taking a picture with a camera when it comes to their uses and processes
A Lithograph was produced by firstly drawing the image on a flat stone surface in an oil based medium, the stone is then moistened with water which is repelled by the oil the surface is then inked with an oil based ink which is unable to adhere to the wet surface. A Chromolithograph is a coloured picture produced by making and superimposing multiple lithographic prints, each of which adds a different colour. The process of colour lithography was first experimented with in the early 1800s by Aloys Senefelder the inventor of lithography, while ‘chromolithography’ was patented in 1837 by a French printer Godefroy Engelmann.
Tattoo ink is made up of pigments and carrier molecules. Ink is formed of water, alcohol, and glycerin. The pigments that are in the tattoo ink are mineral pigment, organic pigment, vegetable-based pigment, and plastic-based pigment. The pigments contain organic and metallic elemental composition. The plastic-based pigments are very intense colors. There are also pigments that glow in the dark. The reason they have
different colored water-soluble marker pens (Vis a Vis pens and Crayola water soluble work well. Be sure that it is water soluble. Be sure to test any green, water soluble inks that you have.)
By comparing the response times in the interference conditions to the control conditions he found that it took people longer to respond to the color of the ink when printed in a color incongruent to the color word (Stroop, 1995). The words interfere with naming the color; yet, the color does not interfere with reading the word.

Wood-type printing allowed new typefaces to be created and used for printing cheaper than ever before. Technological advances permitted machine-set typography to be printed on machine-manufactured paper with high-speed steam-powered printing presses. The use of color lithography passed the aesthetic experience of colorful images from the privileged few to the whole of society.

Paper Chromatography is an analytical technique for separating and naming mixtures that are or can be colored, especially pigments. This process can be used in secondary or primary schools in ink experiments, but this method has been largely replaced by thin layer chromatography; however, it is still a powerful teaching tool. Two-way paper chromatography, also called two-dimensional chromatography, involves using two solvents and rotating the paper 90⁰ in between. This method is useful for separating complex mixtures of similar compounds, for example, amino
PRINTING PRESS AND STANDARDISATION In 1476, William Caxton introduced England to the printing press. This significant introduction to one of the world’s greatest technological innovations, at the time, helped to increase the spread of literacy and knowledge amongst the British people as the mass production of books became cheaper and more commonly available. According to Mastin (2011), the first book ever printed, although Caxton’s own interpretation was ‘The Recuyell of the Historyes of Troye’ in 1473. Furthermore, Mastin (2011) states that in the following 150 years after the introduction of printing, up to 20000 books were printed.
Regardless of how competent the artist is, he will most likely begin the work with a light graphite sketch. Using a soft lead pencil will allow the artist to erase easily and will not engrave pencil marks into the relatively soft paper. The ink will completely cover the pencil marks and any graphite in the watercolor can be erased or will barely be noticeable.
Now that we have established color as a storytelling tool, we can begin to talk about color for aesthetic reasons. The following information on color palettes comes from the article How To Use Color In Film: 50+ Examples of Movie Color Palettes by Mary Risk. Color palettes are the major colors used in a film. There are five main color palettes; monochromatic, complementary, analogous, triadic, and discordant. Also, although these color palettes are used mainly for aesthetic purposes, that does not mean that there are no psychological elements.
For my comic book, I decided to hand draw every image and color them on my computer using a program called GIMP. The program allowed me to implement vibrant colors and clean lines to make c...
Everyone has heard a cashier one time or another mumble, “Paper or plastic?” as he put their groceries in a bag, but do shoppers know the effects of each vessel in which they carry their comestibles? There are many issues and benefits to both paper and plastic. The making and recycling of both paper and plastic bags can harm the environment. One must also look at the costs of making each bag. The convenience of each is also something to look at. Many people jump to conclusion that paper bags are better for the environment without knowing the facts. Since plastic bags are preferred by customers and plastic bags actually do not hurt the environment as much as paper ones do, consumers should feel at ease when choosing plastic.
