Lithography a printing technology that dates back to 1798 when Alois Senenfelder developed a method of imaging limestone from which a print was produced. Based onrepparttar principle that oil and water do not mix, an aluminum or plastic plate is coated with a photopolymer film that is exposed to light through a photographic mask. The exposed areas are chemically "hardened," andrepparttar 102829 unexposed areas are dissolved whenrepparttar 102830 plate is put through a chemical process, which isrepparttar 102831 next stage. When printing a page,repparttar 102832 plate is dampened, andrepparttar 102833 water adheres only torepparttar 102834 unexposed, non-image areas, which repellrepparttar 102835 greasy ink that is applied torepparttar 102836 plate immediately thereafter.

Screen-printing (also known as "silk-screening" or "serigraphy") creates bold color using a stencil technique. The artist draws an image on a piece of paper or plastic film can also be used.) The image is cut out creating a stencil. (Keep in mindrepparttar 102837 pieces that are cut away arerepparttar 102838 areas that will be colored.) A screen is made of a piece of fabric (originally silk) stretched over a wood frame. The stencil is affixed torepparttar 102839 screen. The screen is then placed on top of a piece of dry paper or fabric. Ink is then placed acrossrepparttar 102840 top length ofrepparttar 102841 screen. A squeegee (rubber blade) is used to spreadrepparttar 102842 ink acrossrepparttar 102843 screen, overrepparttar 102844 stencil, and ontorepparttar 102845 paper/fabric. The screen is lifted andrepparttar 102846 image is now transferred ontorepparttar 102847 paper/fabric. Each color requires a separate stencil. The screen can be re-used after cleaning.

See how difficult it is to produce a printing material. However, nowadays withrepparttar 102848 continuous innovation forrepparttar 102849 printing technology, printing is just a click away. Butrepparttar 102850 process itself is a complex procedure to follow. You need expertise and knowledge inrepparttar 102851 field. So it’s very important to appreciate and give value torepparttar 102852 printing materials we have because life and death is at risk before it began.

Compression routines arerepparttar wayrepparttar 102828 picture is stored digitally. Some companies maintain their own proprietary compression method, and this can make sharing images difficult. JPEG isrepparttar 102829 standard, but also as with most standards can have less clarity in a picture. Consider cameras that also offerrepparttar 102830 ability to print off images at no compression for best results.

SLR is short for single-lens reflex viewfinder. Many cameras have two views: that whichrepparttar 102831 user sees to set uprepparttar 102832 shot, and that whichrepparttar 102833 camera sees. If you have an SLR camera both what you see and whatrepparttar 102834 camera shoots are lined up as one, and not slightly off on a different angle.

Having an amazing photo shot is easy; followingrepparttar 102835 above mentioned important tips will surely give you an exceptional picture. Capture your best moment with best digital camera and quality printing application.
