 Sign board
 Flex board
D.T.P is the WYSIWYG software. It mean WHAT YOU SEE IS THAT

 Graphics card –(for heavy graphics software)
 USB – 2.0 (for attach digital camera and pen drive etc).
 Digital camera – High resolution camera.

4.  UPS – Best backup ups. (to protect data).
NOTE : These may wary according to cost that we want to spend on
project.

8. Choosing the paper quality:
The quality of paper is determined by its color, weight and texture.
Various factors need to be considered while choosing the paper on
which a document is to be printed.
Color: there are following type of color of paper
 White
 Yellow
 Blue
 Pink
 Green
Weight: paper quality is depend upon weight of paper. If weight of
paper will more than normal so paper would be of good quality.
Texture: there are follow type of texture of paper
 Handmade
 Visting
 Wedding
This type of paper normally used in Rajasthan.
If publication is intended for the general masses, a large number of co-
pies are needed and in such cases, low quality paper will suffice. If on
the other hand, the publication is to be circulated among a limited nu-

9. mber of persons and serves some special purpose, one should go for g-
ood quality paper even though it would turn out to be a bit expensive.
Documents which carry colored pictures or photographs must be prin-
ted on thick, glossy paper. Such paper holds printing ink quite firmly
and thereby, prevent smudging and produce precise color reproduce -
tions. Besides, glossy paper does not absorb ink and therefore keeps
the other side of the paper clean. Greeting cards, invitation cards, etc.
are generally printed on thick paper for impressing the reader.
Saving on paper cost is effected by bulk purchase.

10. Installation of fonts:
1. Insert CD/DVD that contain fonts that you want to install.
2. Copy fonts from CD/DVD that you require and want to install.
3. Paste it in control panel->fonts. Now you font is installed.
Or
1. Go to control panel-> fonts.
2. Click on file from menu bar
3. Click further on install fonts
4. Than give path where your fonts like give path to you CD/DVD
path.
5. Then click on require font and click install. Now your fonts are
installed.

11. Color models:
There are there type of color models :
 RGB – RED GREEN BLUE
 CMYK – CAYAN MAGENTA YELLOW BLACK
 GRAYSCALE.
RGB – this type of model each pixel contain three color that RED, GREE
N, BLUE by mixing of these color we can see the picture on monitor.
We can only see a picture by mixing of these RGB color. We cannot
print an image with help of this color model.

12. CMYK – this type of model each pixel contain four color CAYAN MAGEN
TA YELLOW BLACK by mixing of these we can print a page these mixing
only done in printer.
GRAYSCALE – this type of mode provide us to print and see a picture in
gray scale mode.
Bitmap Graphics:
Bitmap graphics are the most common graphics format used on the
web and, as well, on the computer. These are based on pixels (small
squares) to represent images. Each pixel is assigned a specific location
and color value. A single image may be composed of hundreds of
thousands of individual pixels. These pixels are clearly and individually
visible when the image is magnified.

13. Bitmap graphics are ideal for photographic or painted images where
there are millions of different colors. Complex fills and shading can
easily be rendered. One of the disadvantages of bitmap graphics is that
they do not scale well, in other words, a bitmap Image is resolution
dependent- that is; it contains a fixed number of pixels to represent the
image data. So, if you resize a bitmap image, you may notice that the
image quality suffers. Bitmap images that have been scaled larger are
frequently blurry. After extreme size increases, individual pixels are
more apparent and the image is said to be pixilated. So an enlarged
image is never as clear as the smaller image. This is show in second part
of the figure 1.1.
Vector graphics:
Vector graphics does not use pixels and are based on mathematical for-
mulae that represents curves and lines. In other words, vector graphics
are described according to their geometric characteristics. So, vector
graphics consists of points, lines and curves which, when combined, can
form complex objects. These objects can be filled with solid colors,
patterns and even gradients.

14. Vector graphics are ideal for producing artwork like logos, visiting cards,
book covers, greeting cards, etc., which frequently needs to be
presented in different sizes and colors. Vector graphics are resolution
independent-that is they can be scaled to any size and printed on any
output device at any resolution without losing its detail or clarity. So, an
enlarged image is clear as smaller image as shown in figure 1.2.
