Information of Babylon Group

Babylon Group of concerns saw her emergence in the horizon of Readymade Garments Manufacturers in Bangladesh in the year 1986 through creation of a small sewing unit called Babylon Garments Ltd. Through hard toil and perseverance Babylon managed to survive the difficult times in the early years. Amidst the constant battle for existence Babylon nonetheless stuck with her originally adopted principles of honesty, integrity, moral scruples and business ethics. And that probably had helped Babylon ease gently through the perilous path toward success and stability Page | 5

in the subsequent years. Never missing to realize the future challenges that lay ahead, Babylon always had put all her efforts and means to master the best practices in all her manufacturing units in order to achieve professional competence and reliability. It has been the policy since inception that Babylon would always offer more to her customers than could be expected of her. To fulfill this commitment Babylon has been acting not only as a trusted supplier of readymade garments but also as a benevolent partner toward all her buyers and customers. As a result- meeting the extraordinary requirements of her customers has become a custom in this business house and a matter of pride for the Group. Quick adoption of some of the other very important policies like getting accreditation of ISO Quality Standard practices, ensuring total compliance of various Code of Conduct requirements of prestigious buyers across the world, prioritizing the need for creation of ideal work conditions for the workers and ensuring proper health care & safety for them etc. has awarded Babylon a respectable position in the top echelons of the RMG manufacturers in Bangladesh.

Why cutting room is important in the factory: Fabric is the major material of garment, having 55-60% of the total production cast. There are three factors to be a major material of any product. Those are followings,  All the other materials are placed on it.  It is the most costly part of the product.  It covers the most parts of the product. Fabric has to be cut before it can be made into a garment. Making garments can be swift and fast as mentioned in the previous section. But, even if the systems are working at the optimum at all times, the output of the line i.e., the number of garments that are produced by the line in a given day, is more or less fixed. One day, the lines might make a few pieces more. On other days, they might fall short by a few pieces. The deviations would be narrow and on an average, the output for the day would be the same. Thus, to be able to produce consistently, the lines would need to have a constant and timely supply of cut garments from the cutting room. Thus, the efficiency of Page | 19

the cutting room becomes even the more important. The cutting room would have to remain on top always. If the cutting room is efficient, the lines can easily meet their daily targets. It is the cutting room that keeps everything ready before a garment is made by the line. In other words, all the preparatory work is done by the cutting room. It checks the fabric, does the lay lot planning, lays the fabric, makes the marker, cuts the cloth, does the ticketing, sends the cut pieces for embroidery or printing, sends other cut pieces for fusing and finally, does the bundling of the cut pieces before introducing it to the line. Thus, without the efficiency of the cutting room, the efficiency of the whole plant would suffer.

Factors in the cutting room:  Since recent past, the clothiers have begun to pay attention to fabric cost.  Fabric cost of a garment is about 55-60% of the total cost of the garment.  If the industry is competing basically on price, it becomes of paramount importance, that fabric savings are introduced.  Experience has revealed that 2% to5% savings on fabric can be very significant saving in the garment cost.

Working closely with our apparel pattern makers, our garment cutting room strives to produce the highest yield per yard of fabric so you incur as little textile waste as possible.

Potential savings in cutting room: There are some areas in which there are normally potentially savings. They are as followings: 

Cutting order planning

How much the fabric will be cut pieces required to run sewing, matching dead line. Fabric faults  Marker efficiency  Pattern engineering 

Match the color shade of garment.

Page | 32

 Remnent waste Fabric spread out of marker length.

Page | 33

 Fabric width waste Variation of fabric width.  Spreading waste

Cut plan: Cut plan is very important. For cut order planning in the apparel industry, the problem begins with a given set of garments, in varying sizes, to be manufactured. A plan is needed for spreading the fabric and dividing the garments into various sections of the spread so as to minimize fabric waste and the cost of cutting, but still satis the customer’s order. The cut is performed by spreading fabric onto a table, often spreading several layers of fabric for cutting efficiency (See Figure at right). The actual lay out of the pattern pieces are called a marker. The key inputs for the cut order planning problem are the sizes to be cut in each section, ply height in each section and the number of sections required to fill the order. The size combinations per section are passed to the marker making function for actual determination of the marker itself Additional output is the estimated efficiency of the Page | 34

marker (in percentage of fabric utilization), the cutting cost per unit, the total perimeter to be cut and the total area to be cut. In our previous research, we showed that cutting costs do not have a significant impact on the total cost of cut order planning, so our methods are now based solely on the cost of the fabric. Three heuristic algorithms were developed for solving the cut order planning problem. The Savings heuristic assigns size combinations to a section based on the fabric savings achieved by combining them into one section. The Cherry Picking algorithm builds sections by combining certain sizes based on the best utilization of fabric. The Improvement algorithm takes an existing solution and tries to improve it by exchanging sizes in different sections or by combining existing sections into one section. These algorithms are embedded in a user interface which we have developed in the Windows ™ environment on a DOS-based PC. Where graphics and statistics are displayed for quick understanding of the results. Both the cut order planning and marker making problems are combinatorial in nature, and require heuristic methods for obtaining solutions efficiently.

Yellow fabric required = 50 × 12 yds = 600 yds Total fabric required = (600+1200+600) yds = 2400 yds.

Patten making: Patterns are the building blocks of a garment. Without them, constructing garments would be impossible. Patterns help convert a flat, two-dimensional cloth into a shapely, three-dimensional garment. Thus, making patterns would require skill and a sound knowledge of Page | 36

different shapes and sizes. However, pattern makers have an empirical approach to making patterns. I realized this when I interacted with pattern makers during the course of my diploma project and later, during the course of my job. All of them exhibited similar traits. They were very secretive of their craft and did not part with their knowledge easily. Some of them, I found, were in the habit of looking at patterns to see if they were correct. They seldom used the measuring tape then. They all felt the need to have real size patterns in front of them. Their knowledge was absolutely hand-me-down; from one pattern maker to the other. They had all learned their skill working as a drudge under some senior pattern maker who in turn had worked similarly under someone. Thus, I sincerely feel we should abide by what. I quote from his book Apparel Manufacturing Handbook: “Knowledge of the geometric principles of drafting is necessary for good draping as well as good pattern drafting. Good draping and good pattern drafting are draping and pattern drafting that can accomplish the desired end without time-consuming empirical methods or little or no “cut and try.” The draper or pattern maker should visualize the approximation of the pattern before steps are taken to develop or draft the actual pattern. This visualization should be the result of applying geometric theorems. Many drapers and patternmakers would save a great deal of time, fabric, and effort, if they mastered the principles of developing and interpreting geometric theorems. Empirical drafting and draping systems can be very disastrous when one attempts to make patterns for radical style trends and designs without being able to calculate the limitations of the empirical method. These limitations cannot be fathomed properly unless one comprehends the principles that govern the development of a sound drafting or draping method. The geometric principles that govern apparel pattern drafting and draping are basically the same as those that govern sheet metal pattern making. Drafting an apparel pattern is the process of applying geometric principles to calculate the two dimensional perimeter that can yield a required three dimensional perimeter. In mechanical or engineering drafting this is termed as “surface developments.” For drafting apparel patterns, one must integrate this surface development with the principles that control fabric drape and apparel fit and drape.”

Marker generation: Marker is a set of pattern laid on a sheet of paper in an organized manner and marked according to the pattern shape and size to cu a Page | 37

fabric lay of the fabric, so the fabric fallout (fabric wastage) could be minimized.

Lowest Quality, Highest Efficiency, Fastest Spreading We have to remember that the length of the marker is not fixed, but the width of the marker is equal to the width of the marker.

Calculating Length of marker: We can calculate the length of a marker. The system is shown as followings: Assuming,     

1 sq m pattern board weights = Fabric width = Pattern set weight = Desired efficiency = What will be the marker length?

250 gm 150 gm 900 gm 90%

Step 1: 1 sq m = 10000 cm2 pattern board wt. = 250 gm So, 1 cm2 pattern board wt = 250/10000 gm/cm2 = 0.025 gm/cm2 Step 2: Area of the marker in pattern board = 900/0.025 cm 2 = 36000 cm2

Page | 41

Step 3: We know, Marker efficiency

=   L = 266.67 = 267 cm

So to active 90% marker efficiency, the length of marker will be 267 cm.

Calculating Marker Efficiency: Let’s assume an order came like this S

Now, S pattern set weights = 150 gm M pattern set weights = 200 gm L pattern set weights = 250 gm XL pattern set weights = 300 gm Total = 2500 gm 1 cm2 pattern board weights = 0.02 gm Area accrued by pattern on marker= 2250/0.02 = 112500 cmᶺ2 Marker Efficiency =

Marker analysis: We have to consider the followings to analyze a marker:

          

Fabric face to face or back to back Marker width Length of the marker Pattern component Style model Fabric consumption Matching design Both way marker Grain line Checked fabric One way marker

Page | 43

 End loss  Marker length  Folded fabric

 Fabric on the open Page | 44

 Splicing position or overlapping

 Size combination  Selvedge and edge

Spreading: Factors of spreading:  Fabric direction: Before spreading the direction of the fabric have to be right. The direction could be top to bottom or bottom to. It specially matter where the fabric has likes velvet or the fabric has shine like shiny fabric. If the fabric is cut into two different direction then if may happen that the garment has two different look on light reflection.  Alignment: The alignment is important factor for spreading. The lay of fabric should be closed by clamp or attached by spick to maintain the alignment point to point. The grain line of the fabric should be considered.  Matching checks and strips: If checked and stripe of a fabric are not matched it could be the cause of rejection of the garment. Before cutting it has to be made sure that the checked and strips of cut panel are checked and matched. Page | 45

Part: Cutter: Bundle card Bundling is to bundle the cut pieces of different parts. Bundling is done to reduce the mixing of parts, shading, mixing with another order, size, styling, and rejection of the garment. Bundling is done with a marker on it, and then tied with the selvedge of fabric with a bundle card. It is very simple but important task indeed.

Numbering: Number is given to the cut pieces of a garment are numbering. Numbering is the last check point to prevent shading. It helps to make a garment from a ply. That means, every part of a garment comes from an individual ply. Like the sleeve will be attached with 25 front and back, each part of the garment will be known as 25. Numbering could be done by sticker or machine or pen, usually on the seam allowance. Sometimes extra fabric is kept over the seam allowance when cutting. Numbering is done on the extra fabric by machine. So the ink of the machine is not spread on the garment.

Cut panel checking: It is very simple task to check the cut fabric parts with the marker, but it is very important to reduce rejection.

Embroidery Embroidery is the art or handicraft of decorating fabric or other materials with needle and thread or yarn. Embroidery may also incorporate other materials such as metal strips, pearls, beads, quills, and sequins A characteristic of embroidery is that the basic techniques or stitches of the earliest work—chain stitch, buttonhole or blanket stitch, running stitch, satin stitch, cross stitch—remain the fundamental techniques of hand embroidery today. Machine embroidery, arising in the early stages of the Industrial Revolution, mimics hand embroidery, especially in the use of chain stitches, but the "satin stitch" and hemming stitches of machine work rely on the use of multiple threads and resemble hand work in their appearance, not their construction. 

century BC, Zhou era tomb at Mashan, Hubei province, China. The origins of life and embroidery are lost in time, but examples survive from ancient Egypt, Iron Age Northern Europe and Zhou Dynasty China. Examples of surviving Chinese chain stitch [embroidery worked]] in silk thread have been dated to the Warring States period (5th-3rd century BC).[1] The process used to tailor, patch, mend and reinforce cloth fostered the development of sewing techniques, and the decorative possibilities of sewing led to the art of embroidery.[2] In a garment from Migration period Sweden, roughly 300–700 CE, the edges of bands of trimming are reinforced with running stitch, back stitch, stem stitch, tailor's buttonhole stitch, and whipstitching, but it is uncertain whether this work simply reinforces the seams or should be interpreted as decorative embroidery.[3] The remarkable stability of basic embroidery stitches has been noted: It is a striking fact that in the development of embroidery ... there are no changes of materials or techniques which can be felt or interpreted as advances from a primitive to a later, more refined stage. On the other hand, we often find in early works a technical accomplishment and high standard of craftsmanship rarely attained in later times. [4]

An example of English embroidery in silk and metal threads, contemporary Art Institute of Chicago textile collection. Elaborately embroidered clothing, religious objects, and household items have been a mark of wealth and status in many cultures including ancient Persia, India, China, Japan, Byzantium, and medieval and Baroque Europe. Traditional folk techniques are passed from generation to generation in cultures as diverse as northern Vietnam, Mexico, and eastern Europe. Professional workshops and guilds arose in medieval England. The output of these workshops, called Opus Anglicanum or "English work," was famous throughout Europe.[5] The manufacture of machine-made embroideries in St. Gallen in eastern Page | 58

Switzerland flourished in the latter half of the 19th century. Classification of Fusing:

Japanese free embroidery in silk and metal threads, contemporary. Embroidery can be classified according to whether the design is stitched on top of or through the foundation fabric, and by the relationship of stitch placement to the fabric. In free embroidery, designs are applied without regard to the weave of the underlying fabric. Examples include crewel and traditional Chinese and Japanese embroidery.

Cross-stitch counted-thread embroidery. Tea-cloth, Hungary, mid-20th century Counted-thread embroidery patterns are created by making stitches over a predetermined number of threads in the foundation fabric. Counted-thread embroidery is more easily worked on an even-weave foundation fabric such as embroidery canvas, aida cloth, or specially woven cotton and linen fabrics although nonevenweave linen is used as well. Examples include needlepoint and some forms of blackwork embroidery.

Hardanger, a whitework technique. Contemporary. In canvas work threads are stitched through a fabric mesh to create a dense pattern that completely covers the foundation fabric. Traditional canvas work such as bargello is a countedPage | 59

thread technique.[6] Since the 19th century, printed and hand painted canvases where the painted or printed image serves as color-guide have eliminated the need for counting threads. These are particularly suited to pictorial rather than geometric designs deriving from the Berlin wool work craze of the early 19th century In drawn thread work and cutwork, the foundation fabric is deformed or cut away to create holes that are then embellished with embroidery, often with thread in the same color as the foundation fabric. These techniques are the progenitors of needle lace. When created in white thread on white linen or cotton, this work is collectively referred to as white work. Materials

Phulkari from the Punjab region of India. Phulkari embroidery, popular since at least the 15th century, is traditionally done on hand-spun cotton cloth with simple darning stitches using silk floss.

Laid threads, a surface technique in wool on linen. The Bayeux Tapestry, 11th century. The fabrics and yarns used in traditional embroidery vary from place to place. Wool, linen, and silk have been in use for thousands of years for both fabric and yarn. Today, embroidery thread is manufactured in cotton, rayon, and novelty yarns as well as in traditional wool, linen, and silk. Ribbon embroidery uses narrow ribbon in silk or silk/organza blend ribbon, most commonly to create floral motifs.

Surface embroidery techniques such as chain stitch and couching or laid-work are the most economical of expensive yarns; couching is generally used for gold work. Canvas work techniques, in which large amounts of yarn are buried on the back of the work, use more materials but provide a sturdier and more substantial finished textile.

In both canvas work and surface embroidery an embroidery hoop or frame can be used to stretch the material and ensure even stitching tension that prevents pattern distortion. Modern canvas work tends to follow very symmetrical counted stitching patterns with designs developing from repetition of one or only a few similar stitches in a variety of thread hues. Many forms of surface embroidery, by contrast, are distinguished by a wide range of different stitching patterns used in a single piece of work. Machine

Much contemporary embroidery is stitched with a computerized embroidery machine using patterns "digitized" with embroidery software. In machine embroidery, different types of "fills" add texture and design to the finished work. Machine embroidery is used to add logos and monograms to business shirts or jackets, gifts, and team apparel as well as to decorate household linens, draperies, and decorator fabrics that mimic the elaborate hand embroidery of the past.

Printing Printing is a process for reproducing text and image, typically with ink on paper using a printing press. It is often carried out as a large-scale industrial process, and is an essential part of publishing and transaction printing. The intricate frontispiece of the Diamond Sutra from Tang Dynasty China, AD 868 (British Museum) Main article: History of printing Woodblock printing Woodblock printing is a technique for printing text, images or patterns that was used widely throughout East Asia. It originated in China in antiquity as a method of printing on textiles and later on paper. As a method of printing on cloth, the earliest surviving examples from China date to before 220, and from Roman Egypt to the 4th century. "Selected Teachings of Buddhist Sages and Son Masters", the earliest known book printed with movable metal type, 1377. Bibliothèque Nationale de Paris. Main article: History of typography in East Asia By AD 593, woodblock printing was in wide use in China, and the first printed periodical, the Kaiyuan Za Bao was made available in Beijing in AD 713. The Tianemmen scrolls, the earliest known complete example of a woodblock printed book with illustrations, was printed in China in AD 868.[citation needed]

Around the mid-century, block-books, woodcut books with both text and images, usually carved in the same block, emerged as a cheaper alternative to manuscripts and books printed with movable type. These were all short heavily illustrated works, the bestsellers of the day, repeated in many different block-book versions: the Ars moriendi and the Biblia pauperum were the most common. There is still some controversy among scholars as to whether their introduction preceded or, the majority view, followed the introduction of movable type, with the range of estimated dates being between about 1440 and 1460. A case of cast metal type pieces and typeset matter in a composing stick. Movable type is the system of printing and typography using movable pieces of metal type, made by casting from matrices struck by letterpunches. Movable type allowed for much more flexible processes than hand copying or block printing. Around 1040, the first known movable type system was created in China by Bi Sheng out of porcelain.[4] Sheng used clay type, which broke easily, but Wang Zhen later carved a more durable type from wood by 1298 AD, and developed a complex system of revolving tables and number-association with written Chinese characters that made typesetting and printing more efficient. However, the main method in use there remained woodblock printing. Around 1450, Johannes Gutenberg introduced what is regarded as an independent invention of movable type in Europe (see printing press), along with innovations in casting the type based on a matrix and hand mould. Gutenberg was the first to create his type pieces from an alloy of lead, tin and antimony – the same components still used today.[5] Johannes Gutenberg's work on the printing press began in approximately 1436 when he partnered with Andreas Dritzehen — a man he had previously instructed in gem-cutting—and Andreas Heilmann, owner of a paper mill.[6] It was not until a 1439 lawsuit against Gutenberg that official record exists; witnesses testimony discussed type, an inventory of metals (including lead) and his type mold Compared to woodblock printing, movable type page setting was quicker and more durable. The metal type pieces were sturdier and the lettering more uniform, leading to typography and fonts. The high quality and relatively low price of the Gutenberg Bible (1455) established the superiority of movable type, and printing presses Page | 63

rapidly spread across Europe, leading up to the Renaissance, and later all around the world. Today, practically all movable type printing ultimately derives from Gutenberg's movable type printing, which is often regarded as the most important invention of the second millennium. Rotary printing press Main article: Rotary printing press The rotary printing press was invented by Richard March Hoe in 1843. It uses impressions curved around a cylinder to print on long continuous rolls of paper or other substrates. Rotary drum printing was later significantly improved by William Bullock. [Modern printing technology The folder of newspaper web offset printing press. Currently, most books and newspapers are printed using the technique of offset lithography. Other common techniques include: 

flexography used for packaging, labels, newspapers.

[edit] Gravure Gravure printing is an intaglio printing technique, where the image to be printed is made up of small depressions in the surface of the Page | 64

printing plate. The cells are filled with ink and the excess is scraped off the surface with a doctor blade, then a rubber-covered roller presses paper onto the surface of the plate and into contact with the ink in the cells. The printing plates are usually made from copper and may be produced by digital engraving or laser etching. Gravure printing is used for long, high-quality print runs such as magazines, mail-order catalogues, packaging, and printing onto fabric and wallpaper. It is also used for printing postage stamps and decorative plastic laminates, such as kitchen worktops. [edit] Impact of the invention of printing [edit] Religious impact Samuel Hartlib, who was exiled in Britain and enthusiastic about social and cultural reforms, wrote in 1641 that "the art of printing will so spread knowledge that the common people, knowing their own rights and liberties, will not be governed by way of oppression".[9] For both churchmen and governments, it was concerning that print allowed readers, eventually including those from all classes of society, to study religious texts and politically sensitive issues by themselves, instead of thinking mediated by the religious and political authorities. It took a long time for print to penetrate Russia and the Orthodox Christian world, a region (including modern Serbia, Romania and Bulgaria) where reading ability was largely restricted to the clergy. In 1564, a White Russian brought a press to Moscow, and soon after that his workshop was destroyed by a mob. In the Muslim world, printing, especially in Arabic or Turkish was strongly opposed throughout the early modern period (printing in Hebrew was sometimes permitted). Indeed, the Muslim countries have been regarded as a barrier to the passage of printing from China to the West. According to an imperial ambassador to Istanbul in the middle of the sixteenth century, it was a sin for the Turks to print religious books. In 1515, Sultan Selim I issued a decree under which the practice of printing would be punishable by death. At the end of the century, Sultan Murad III permitted the sale of non-religious printed books in Arabic characters, yet the majority were imported from Italy. Jews were banned from German printing guilds; as a result Hebrew printing sprang up in Italy, beginning in 1470 in Rome, then spreading to other towns. Local rulers had the authority to grant or revoke licenses to publish Hebrew books.[10] Page | 65

It was thought that the introduction of the printing medium 'would strengthen religion and enhance the power of monarchs.' [11] The majority of books were of religious nature with the church and crown regulating the content. The consequences of printing wrong material were extreme. Meyrowitz[11] used the example of William Carter who, in 1584, printed a pro-Catholic pamphlet in Protestant-dominated England. The consequence of his action was hanging. The widespread distribution of the Bible 'had a revolutionary impact, because it decreased the power of the Catholic Church as the prime possessor and interpretor of God's word.'[11] [edit] Social impact Print gave a broader range of readers access to knowledge and enabled later generations to build on the intellectual achievements of earlier ones. Print, according to Acton in his lecture On the Study of History (1895), gave "assurance that the work of the Renaissance would last, that what was written would be accessible to all, that such an occultation of knowledge and ideas as had depressed the Middle Ages would never recur, that not an idea would be lost". Print was instrumental in changing the nature of reading within society. Elizabeth Eisenstein identifies two long term effects of the invention of printing. She claims that print created a sustained and uniform reference for knowledge as well as allowing for comparison between incompatible views. (Eisenstein in Briggs and Burke, 2002: p21) Asa Briggs and Peter Burke identify five kinds of reading that developed in relation to the introduction of print: 1. Critical reading: due to the fact that texts finally became accessible to the general population, critical reading emerged because people were given the option to form their own opinions on texts. 2. Dangerous Reading: reading was seen as a dangerous pursuit because it was considered rebellious and unsociable. This was especially in the case of women because reading could stir up dangerous emotions like love. There was also the concern that if women could read, they could read love notes.

Page | 66

3. Creative reading: Printing allowed people to read texts and interpret them creatively, often in very different ways than the author intended. 4. Extensive Reading: Print allowed for a wide range of texts to become available, thus, previous methods of intensive reading of texts from start to finish, began to change. With texts being readily available, people began reading on particular topics or chapters, allowing for much more extensive reading on a wider range of topics. 5. Private reading: This is linked to the rise of individualism. Before print, reading was often a group event, where one person would read to a group of people. With print, literacy rose as did availability of texts, thus reading became a solitary pursuit. "While the invention of printing has been discussed conventionally in terms of its value for spreading ideas, it’s even greater contribution is its furthering of the long-developing shift in the relationship between space and discourse. The proliferation of media that Ong is discussing in relation to the introduction of the printing press, to the death of an oral culture and that this new culture had more of an emphasis on the visual rather than in an auditory medium. As such the printing press gave birth to a more accessible and widely available source of knowledge in the sense that it broke down the boundaries between the possessors of knowledge and the masses. The narrative or discourse now existed in what would become indirectly through time, the global village. The invention of printing also changed the occupational structure of European cities. Printers emerged as a new group of artisans for whom literacy was essential, although the much more labor-intensive occupation of the scribe naturally declined. Proof-correcting arose as a new occupation, while a rise in the amount of booksellers and librarians naturally followed the explosion in the numbers of books.

Digital printing Digital printing accounts for approximately 9% of the 45 trillion pages printed annually (2005 figure) around the world.[8] Printing at home or in an office or engineering environment is subdivided into: Page | 67



small format (up to ledger size paper sheets), as used in business offices and libraries



wide format (up to 3' or 914mm wide rolls of paper), as used in drafting and design establishments.

Some of the more common printing technologies are: 

blueprint—and related chemical technologies.



daisy wheel—where pre-formed characters are applied individually.



dot-matrix—which produces arbitrary patterns of dots with an array of printing studs.



line printing—where pre-formed characters are applied to the paper by lines.



heat transfer—like early fax machines or modern receipt printers that apply heat to special paper, which turns black to form the printed image.



inkjet—including bubble-jet—where ink is sprayed onto the paper to create the desired image.



xerography—where toner is attracted to a charged image and then developed.



laser—a type of xerography where the charged image is written pixel by pixel by a laser.



solid ink printer—where cubes of ink are melted to make ink or liquid toner.

Vendors typically stress the total cost to operate the equipment, involving complex calculations that include all cost factors involved in the operation as well as the capital equipment costs, amortization, etc. For the most part, toner systems beat inkjet in the long run, whereas inkjets are less expensive in the initial purchase price. Professional digital printing (using toner) primarily uses an electrical charge to transfer toner or liquid ink to the substrate it is printed on. Digital print quality has steadily improved from early color and black & white copiers to sophisticated color digital presses like the Xerox iGen3, the Kodak Nexpress, the HP Indigo Digital Press series and the InfoPrint 5000. The iGen3 and Nexpress use toner particles and the Indigo uses liquid ink. The InfoPrint 5000 is a full-color, continuous Page | 68

Digital offset presses are also called direct imaging presses, although these presses can receive computer files and automatically turn them into print-ready plates, they cannot insert variable data. Small press and fanzines generally use digital printing. Prior to the introduction of cheap photocopying the use of machines such as the spirit duplicator, hectograph, and mimeograph was common.

Adobe Photoshop files must be at 300 dpi at final print size. To alleviate confusion all type should be created in Adobe Illustrator and converted to outlines. When placing images created in Photoshop into Illustrator do not enlarge the placed image. Resizing the image changes its resolution. Even though the original Photoshop file is 300 dpi, if you enlarge it 300% in Illustrator the resolution becomes 100 dpi. All PANTONE colors must be specified using solid, coated colors.
