About the Book

Recent advances in desktop color output are nothing short of revolutionary. This book organizes and explains the various factors that have brought about that revolution, including advances in hardware and software alike. It also provides a good introduction to the concepts needed to understand how desktop color works. Includes a 24-page color insert as well as scores of helpful illustrations. Runner-up winner for Best Advanced Systems How-to Book in the 10th Annual Computer Press Awards.These days it's not only graphic designers and prepress people who know the difference between spot color and colored spots. As the cost of color printing technology goes down and ease-of-use goes up, growing numbers of office workers with little color experience are being called upon to produce short-run, on-demand color documents. With the proliferation of powerful new tools for desktop color production, graphic artists are increasingly being called upon to do prepress color work on their own desktops rather than in specialized shops. Although adding color to publications is now relatively easy, using color effectively still requires specialized skills. That's where Understanding Desktop Color, Second Edition comes in. It's the definitive, comprehensive book on desktop color that's for Macintosh as well as Windows users, for graphics professionals as well as desktop publishing novices. Understanding Desktop Color, Second Edition covers all the key issues and technologies in color publishing, from hardware to halftones, imaging to reproduction, color models to color management, page layout to output services. It discusses how they relate to each other and to the daily publishing demands of the workplace. The book is written in a concise, easy-to-understand style and is beautifully illustrated with more than 300 illustrations, including 24 pages in full color. It includes a detailed index and glossary, plus appendices on relevant vendors and associations. The first edition was self-published by the author in early 1994. The second edition uses enhanced halftones and has been updated to reflect the latest technological developments.
