CV-20 - Raster Formats and Sources
- Explain how color fastness and color consistency are ensured in map production
- Compare outputs of the same map at various low and high resolutions
- Differentiate among the various raster map outputs (JPEG, GIF, TIFF) and various vector formats (PDF, Adobe Illustrator Postscript)
- Compare and contrast the file formats suited to presentation of maps on the Web to those suited to publication in high resolution contexts
- Compare and contrast the issues that arise for map production using black-and-white and fourcolor process specifications
- Outline the process for the digital production of offset press printed maps, including reference to feature and color separates, feature and map composites, and resolution
- Critique typographic integrity in export formats (e.g., some file export processes break type into letters degrading searchability, font processing, and reliability of Raster Image Processing)
- Prepare a map file for CMYK publication in a book
- Prepare a map file for RGB presentation on a Web site
- Discuss the purpose of advanced production methods (e.g., stochastic screening, hexachrome color, color management and device profiles, trapping, overprinting)
