I/O
Input/Output: this term describes the passing of data between one device and another.
ICC
The International Color Consortium, a group of companies that have agreed on a common standard for color
profiles.
Ink density
The relative amount of ink that is deposited on the substrate per unit of area.
IP address
A unique identifier that identifies a particular node on a TCP/IP network. It consists of four integers separated by
dots.
LED
Light-Emitting Diode: a semiconductor device that emits light when electrically stimulated.
Loading accessory
A flexible plastic accessory that fits over the leading edge of the substrate while it is being loaded into the printer.
Some substrates are difficult to load without this accessory.
Loop-shaper
A cylindrical weight inserted into the loop of substrate required by the take-up reel. A light and a heavy loop-
shaper are provided, to suit different substrate types.
Minimum drying power
The minimum heat applied in the printing zone so that the substrate does not cool too much in lightly-inked areas.
Low minimum power may cause print quality defects; high minimum power may damage the substrate, especially
with a high number of passes and in blank or lightly-inked areas.
Nozzle
One of many tiny holes in a printhead through which ink is deposited onto the substrate.
OMAS
The Optical Media Advance Sensor, otherwise known as the substrate-advance sensor. The sensor located in the
print platen that tracks the substrate movement and increases its accuracy.
Passes
The number of print passes specifies how many times the printheads will print on the same area of substrate. A
higher number of passes tends to improve print quality and printhead health, but reduces the speed of printing.
PC
Polycarbonate.
PE
Polyethylene.
PET
Polyethylene Terephthalate (polyester).
PLA
Polylactic Acid.
Platen
The flat surface within the printer over which the substrate passes while it is being printed on.
PP
Polypropylene.
Printhead
A removable printer component that takes ink of one or more colors from the corresponding ink cartridge(s) and
deposits it on the substrate, through a cluster of nozzles.
