Recycled Paper
Paper which contains a high proportion of recycled material, for instance de-inked post consumer waste or waste produced within the paper mill ('mill broke'). Calverts specialises in getting the best results from printing on true recycled papers, and we are signatories to the London Green Procurement Scheme, which is working to create a regional market for recycled products, including paper. We know which recycled papers are best for which applications, and can provide samples and dummies on request.
RGB
Abbreviation of Red Green Blue. Method of connecting a colour screen to a computer, involving three separate signals. All the colours displayed by the screen can be made up from these three additive component colours. For print repro, however, files should be given to Calverts in CMYK, which is the subtractive separation, or as Pantone colours.
RIP
Acronym for Raster Image Processor. Program in a laser printer or other high-rest printer that converts the stream of printing instructions from a computer into the pattern of dots that make up the printed page.
Run-on
Price quoted for an additional quantity, produced at the same time as the base quantity.
