Inkjet LingoWritten by Niall Roche
Aren’t acronyms fun? LOL (laugh out loud). However, they sure can be confusing when selecting printers and inkjet inks. Most sites are good about defining acronyms they use at least once, but finding that “once” isn’t always as easy as it looks! Knowing how to speak “inkjet” will help you choose both printer and inkjet ink you need to get kind of results you want! Here are a few inkjet acronyms and other terms to help with your searches for inkjet printers and related products:AIO (all in one) and MFP (Multifunction Printer) — AIO and MFP are often used interchangeably and stand for printers that include a copier, a scanner, and frequently have fax capabilities as well. Relatively new in marketplace, All-in-Ones are an affordable way to set up a comprehensively equipped home office. CMYK— Inkjet colors: C=cyan, M=magenta, Y=yellow, and K=black. The first inkjet printers were three-color printers (CMY) that mixed colors to produce black. Today’s printers generally have capability to simultaneously use both black and colored inks on same page. DPI— Dots per inch. Measures resolution of images produced by printers, scanners, etc. Typically, more dots per inch means that image will display with more detail. OEM— Another way to say brand name (or name brand). Actually means Original Equipment Manufacturer PPM (pages per minute) and CPM (copies per minute) — How many sheets your printer will spew out per minute. PPM usually means printing directly from printer and CPM denotes copies from a scanned item. Aside from acronyms, other inkjet terms frequently appear when searching for inkjet printers, medias, and inks: Bulk ink— Sold either as compatible printer ink or universal printer ink (see below). The difference between bulk ink and refill kits is that bulk ink doesn’t come with either tools or instructions. Unless you are experienced in refilling inkjet cartridges and have necessary tools on hand, a better money-saving refill solution is a compatible inkjet refill kit.

A color portrays character. It depicts positive or negative emotion or symbolism. It reveals unspoken words. It can be friendly, nervous, angry, sad, comfortable and trusting. While it is simple to use colors but we must be very cautious in doing so because you can be misinterpreted when you unintentionally present a derogatory impression. The colors may oppose substance of an image.Colors influence our perception, interaction and even way we feel. If you are sending wrong impression with regards to your choose of colors, you can turn to Photoshop since it is best tool for color correction. How to make color accurate? It’s easy. To start, open your image or photo in Photoshop. If you have a skilled eye, you can do correction manually with tools like color balance or channel mixer. Variations immediately show you different corrections available by selecting varying colors with different tones. By making photo darker or lighter and comparing it with original, you can be guided what to choose. Selective color makes drastic changes you can hardly tell. Color balance is used to purposely skew towards a single color or just to balance out image. You can also make adjustments on shadow, midtones and highlights of image. To do this, move sliders towards colors you need to bring up or balance.
