Number of ps
In the printing industry, the “p” figure usually refers to the number of pages (page), an indicator used to measure the utilization of printed paper and the quantity of printed content. Specifically:
1p indicates a piece of paper, which corresponds to a single page in the conventional sense。
2p denotes a two-sided, double page on a piece of paper, a common page configuration。
Knowledge of the “p” number is essential to determine the cost and size of the printed material during the design and printing of the book. For example, if a painting design contains 200 pages, the number of "p" is 200. This concept applies not only to galleries but also to other types of printed materials, such as books, magazines, etc。
Number of grams
The number of grams in printing refers to the weight of the paper, i. E. The quality of the paper per square metre. The higher the number of grams, the greater the quality of the paper in the unit area, which is relatively thicker and stronger. The number of paper grams commonly used in printed materials is 70, 80, 100, 120, etc. The selection of the appropriate number of paper grams can be determined on the basis of the specific needs and effects of the printed material。
Iii. Section
Printed subdivisions refer to the division and layout of the contents of printed works according to the different layouts. During the printing process, there may be multiple pages or different contents that need to be printed simultaneously, which, in order to facilitate the operation and control of the quality of the printing, will need to be printed separately on different pages. Each page has its own size, layout, printing order, etc。
Iv. Scrolls
Printed collage refers to the process of consolidating multiple printed works or different pages into the same printed version for printing. In the print version, several similar or related pages can be combined to reduce the number of printings and the use of materials. This would increase printing efficiency and save time and costs. Printed collages usually apply to printed works of the same size, such as books, magazines, newspapers, etc. By placing multiple pages in the same print version, the use of the printed material can be reduced and printing costs reduced。
V. Cutting lines
Print cut-off lines are those used in the design and production of printed materials to direct the cutting or triming of the edges of printed materials. These lines are usually located on the edge of the print, marking the actual size of the print and the tailoring area. Print cutters typically draw the outer edge of the print, marking the final size of the print. Designers need to ensure that important text, images or design elements are not located within the tailor line. Cutting lines also help printers to understand the production requirements of printed materials, thus completing accurate cut-offs。
Vi. Role
Print lines are lines used to indicate alignment and sequencing of images, text or other design elements during the design and production of printed materials. These lines are usually drawn on the pages of the draft to help designers locate and resize the elements. The line of practice is a supporting tool to ensure accuracy and consistency of design. It helps designers to determine the layout of the pages and to maintain a certain distance and alignment between the elements。
