  • Rip Technology, Colorimetry and Color Management in Digital Textile Printing
    TEXTIL PLUS FACHARTIKEL RIP TECHNOLOGY, COLORIMETRY AND COLOR MANAGEMENT IN DIGITAL TEXTILE PRINTING Software and workflow topics are often underrepresented in the machine-dominated textile industry, but they have a critical influence on quality and profitability. Professional color management, for example, enables technology-agnostic printing of textiles or networked printing across remote locations. ■ ■ ■ Inkjet printing on textiles has many advantages: there is no need to make printing forms or screens, which makes the process ideal for smaller runs and enables the economic production of personalized and individualized prints.

  • Xespotcolor.Pdf
    The xespotcolor package: Spot Colors for X LE ATEX&LATEX Απόστολος Συρόπουλος (Apostolos Syropoulos) Xanthi, Greece [email protected] 2016/03/22 updated 2021/03/01 Abstract A spot color is one that is printed with its own ink. Typically, printers use spot colors in the production of books or other printed material. The spotcolor package by Jens Elstner is a first attempt to introduce the use of spot colors with pdfLaTeX. The xespotcolor package is a reimplementation of this package so to be usable with X LE ATEX and LATEX+dvipdfmx. As such, it has the same user interface and the same capabilities. 1 Introduction Using spot colors with X LE ATEX is very important since most printers use spot colors in the production of books and magazines. The spotcolor package makes it possible to use spot colors with pdfLATEX but it cannot be used with X LE ATEX or LATEX. In what follows I first describe how to translate certain pdfTEX code snippets into X TE EX or TEX+dvipdfmx and then I present the code of the package. Thus one can view this text as a short tutorial on how to portE pdfT X code to X TE EX or TEX+dvipdfmx as well as a description of the functionality of the xespotcolor package. Since the package is a port of a pdfTEX package, it has the same functionality as the original package. 2 Porting pdfTEX code to X TE EX or TEX+dvipdfmx Translating pdfTEX code, which adds PDF code to the output file, to X TE EX or TEX+dvipdfmx is not a straightforward exercise since pdfTEX provides primitive commands that directly access and modify the structure of the resulting PDF file.
