Image Setting

Image setting is the process where film positives or negatives are produced from electronic files.  Through image setting we can use your electronic file to produce film positives or film negatives whether your file contains spot colours or is a four colour photographic image.

Spot Colours
Through the image setting process, a file which contains only spot colours, one film positive or negative is rendered for each colour.  A spot color is a single colour such as blue or green.  Pantone colours are also considered spot colours.  Spot colours can be printed solid or screened.

Four Colour Process
Image setting is particularly useful for producing film positives or negatives of photographs.  Photographs are produced using four colours; cyan, magenta, yellow and black (CYMK).  Through the image setting process, each of the four colours are separated then individual negatives and positives are produced for each colour.  When the four films are registered, a perfect photograph is reproduced.

If you are in the screen printing industry or require film positives in your process, Terra will use your PostScript file to render perfect film images quickly and inexpensively.
