lookup table (LUT)

A two or three-dimensional array of values that stores information
about specified input-output relationships. When an input value is
known, the system can automatically determine the correct output
value. For example, the system can find the required dot size for a
given set of printing conditions based on the stored gray level.
Color setups can be saved in color tables (color transformation
tables), which is one of the many kinds of LUTs.

PDF/X

Abbreviation for Portable Document Format eXchange. An
exchange format for sending pages between a page preparation
site and a printing site. PDF/X is a subset of the full PDF
specification.
