Tints and CYMK - Whats the difference for screen display and print

Hi,
What is the 'technical' difference between a tint and CYMK? For example, if i create a box with a fill of C:0 Y:0 M:0 K:40 is this the same as a black fill with 40% tint?
Knowing that all screens and printers give different results, is the difference even noticeable? What about 'best practice' / 'industry standard'?
Workflow/context- I create artwork (documents with combinations of images, graphics and text) in either Ai or ID which all go to PDF and I present them either on screen or through print (regular printer - none of my printed artwork use printing plates).
Thanks for your advice in advance.

A tint is just a lighter version of your swatch, so yes, 0,0,0,40 CMYK is exactly the same as using the [Black] swatch and setting the tint field in the panel down to 40% or creating a tint swatch with a 40% value.
Not all colors are CMYK. On screen you use RGB and most desktop printers expect RGB data as well. On press you might use spot color inks if you have only one color and tints of that color to add, or you need some color that can't be easily produced in CMYK in a full-color job. You probably shold not be using spot color in your work since you don't go to press and printer simulations of many spot colors are quite bad. You'll find the really saturated colors tend to be out of range for most printers, too, if you use RGB, but if you can accept that your printed output may not match the screen (and unless everything in the workflow is calibrated, including ALL the monitors you might be working with and all the printers you might use for output, output on remote devices probably won't match what you see on your own monitor and printer), I would design for the screen if that's the primary presentation and let those out-of-gamut colors geet clipped in print.
Printing tints is a little trickier than you might think. Dot gain (how ink spreads as it is absorbed into paper) tends to make tints seem a little darker in print.

  • Whats the difference for Technology Consultant for Web AS and  SAP IT Excel

    Hi all,
    I would be going for SAP Web AS Certification.

  • Whats the difference between full screen mode on iLife 09 and 11?

    I had a overview of iLife 11 in store at Apple yesterday, I like the ful screen mode of it. I have iLife 09 but never really used it much to be honest.
    I just fired it up, and it has a full screen mode on it I see, so whats the difference between '09 and '11 full screen version?
    Also I'm a little worried if my iMac would run it fine? Its a 2007 Alu Core 2 Duo 2Ghz, 2Gb RAM, so a little older
    cheers

    If viewing full screen is your primary interest with iPhoto then iPhoto 11 may not be for you. iPhoto 11 has new themes for books, cards and slideshows which are rather slick and offers 2 page spread layouts in the books. In all fairness, it has had its difficulties as you can easily tell by the posts but not by everyone.
    Bottom line: it all depends on what you primarily use iPhoto for. Excellent image management and organization or the frills, bells and whistles of its other features.

  • Would you please summarize what the difference between tc and alv?

    hi, experts,
      would you please summarize what the difference between table control and alv base on the function and usage practice.
    for example, as i know:
    1.edit
      tc: can edit in the same screen and save.
      alv: pop up a sub screen to let user edit, so this is unconvenient.
    2.functional button
      alv: can have many functional button as default ,eg. sort, summary and so on
      tc:  developers must implements by himself.
    3.color
      alv: can have and change color
      tc:  cann't changed color
    some client may required the data displayed in alv and edit in tc ,such as example BCALV_EDIT_02.
    above are my idea, experts, would you give me some comments on my opinion and summarize what the difference between those two components? i should make it clear in order to consult the UI with my client.hunger for your advice, thanks!

    ALV Grid is basically used for display puropse. It is more user friendly. There are arious features ( such as coloring, sorting, saving to a local file, sedning by mail etc. ) These featurs make ALV Grid a very good option to display the data .
    However , the table control is not only used to display data take from the database table, but also you can do operation such as deletion of data from database table, insertion of data into the database table and updation also. Yeah it has not got the various features whihc ALV has.
    So table control and ALV Grid , if you are just using for display purpose, then ALV Grid is a better option due to its layout and attractive features. But if you want to do the database operations other than display, table control can be used.
    As far as execution is concerned, I think ALV Grid is faster.
    ALV grid control is faster when compared to Table control. But the comaprision is Negligible .
    One of the major differences comes in taking of line items - ALV has an advantage over Table Control when it comes to update database from it.Table control only allows maximum of 999 records at a time where as this limitation is not there in ALV.
    Also,a main feature of ALV Grid is that it contains a standard set of functions. These functions extend beyond the functions of a table control.
    These two UI elements require different keyboard navigation, with ALV Grid being more user-friendly.
    An application can display table data in ALV Grid or in a table control. In some applications you can choose between displaying and editing data in either ALV Grid or a table control. If a configurable button () appears in the right upper corner of the table, it is a table control.
    Basically ALV is a way to display the output and Table Control is designed in screen painter through which you can get entries in Table Control, can delete some records etc for further processing and its not use only for Display.
    ALV is Application List viewer:-
    Sap provides a set of ALV (ABAP LIST VIEWER) function modules which can be put into use to embellish the output of a report. This set of ALV functions is used to enhance the readability and functionality of any report output. Cases arise in sap when the output of a report contains columns extending more than 255 characters in length.
    In such cases, this set of ALV functions can help choose selected columns and arrange the different columns from a report output and also save different variants for report display. This is a very efficient tool for dynamically sorting and arranging the columns from a report output.
    TABLE CONTROL:-
    ABAP offers two mechanisms for displaying and using table data in a screen. These mechanisms are table controls and step loops. Table controls and step loops are types of screen tables you can add to a screen in the Screen Painter.

  • What the difference and use between   of  TABLES and SY-REPID?

    Hi,
    Experts,
    I have came accross 2 cases that i can't able understand
    EX1:
    TABLES: VBAP   -
    >( Here also Appplication Server(AS) creates Wrokarea of Structure VBAP but, by 
    data: v_vbeln like vbap-vbeln.    double clicking on variable v_vbeln AS taking me to DDIC VBAP table VBELN field then what the using declaring tables. )
    ( and ) 
    DATA: VBAP TYPE VBAP -->( Here also Appplication Server(AS) creates Wrokarea of Structure VBAP data: v_vbeln like vbap-vbeln.    but,double clicking on variable v_vbeln AS taking me to user declared VBAP
                                                  i.e., above DATA declaration statement )
    Then Which one is better in Functionality wise as well as Performance wise or when we have to go for TABLES and when we have to go for DATA declaration of DDIC objects.
    EX2:
    what the difference between
    I know that SY_REPID is not a system variable. And also that
    Data: vrepid type SY_REPID.--> Predefined data type in ABAP
    and
    Data: vrepid like SY_REPID.-> Predefined Constatnt in ABAP( it is a constant it allowing with out VALUE                                                                               
    attribute)
    what difference between them and when we have to go Data: vrepid type SY_REPID and when we have to go Data: vrepid like SY_REPID.
    Thank U,
    Shabeer Ahmed.

    Hi Ahmed,
    TABLES:
      VBAP.   " DDIC
    DATA:
      v_vbeln like vbap-vbeln.
    *Here you are using the DDIC VBAP
    DATA:
      VBAP TYPE VBAP.
    DATA:
      vbeln like vbap-vbeln.
    *Here you are using the local data object as your data type so it will always
    * take you to user declared VBAP which is declared by you.
    DATA:
      T_VBAP TYPE VBAP.
    DATA:
      vbeln like vbap-vbeln.
    * here its using T_VBAP not DDIC VBAP
    And for performance always the second option is better, use Data instead of tables, declare your own local structure.
    Data:
      vrepid type SY_REPID.  thereis nop redefined data type in ABAP as SY_REPID
    * its SY-REPID which is a system variable.
    Data:
      vrepid type SY-REPID.

  • Whats the difference between arrayCollection = null and arrayCollection.removeAll()?

    Whats the difference between arrayCollection = null and
    arrayCollection.removeAll()?

    In arrayCollection = null; statement you're setting this
    reference to null and potentially making it available for garbage
    collection. I say 'this reference' and potentially because, as you
    may know, there might be other references to this array collection
    object that won't be affected by this statement and hence it won't
    be GC'ed.
    arrayCollection.removeAll() says that I want to empty this
    array collection for all the reference that we pointing to it. That
    is, remove all the objects from the collection -- and of course
    make them 'potentially' available for the GC -- the size of the
    array collection would be reduced down to zero and all the
    references would be pointing to a valid but empty collection.
    Hope this helps.

  • Whats the difference between list and lov ?

    Whats the difference between list and lov ?
    i can do the same things with a list what an lov can do .
    infact a list is more better. cause the list doesnt hold/show a range of values, and only has the items value iteself.
    while the lov can get all the values of items depending on the query.
    like
    select ename, job, sal from emp
    will show all the three items values in lov?

    Also, if you're looking in the US store, the prices are:
    - Airport Express (small, no ac) $99 - Has audio out for speaker connection using Airplay. Can share a USB printer only.
    - Airport Extreme (larger, ac) $199 - No audio out, can share a USB printer or hard drive.
    - Time Capsules (2TB, 3TB at $299, $399) - have ac wireless and a backup hard drive for Time Machine which the other Airports do not have.

  • What the difference between u0093Valuate GL Account Open Itemsu0094 and u0093Valuate G/

    hi gurus
    What the difference between “Valuate GL Account Open Items” and “Valuate G/L Account Balances”?
    We found out that when we perform valuate GL account Open items there will be reversal done at the same time whereas when we perform Valuate G/L Account Balances there is NO reversal posting even though we hv entered the reversal posting date and Period.
    Pls advise which one we should perform?

    “Valuate GL Account Open Items” are for open item managed accounts including vendor/customer accounts. The valuation is performed for each (open) line items on key date specified.
    "“Valuate GL Balance" is for account NOT managed on Open Item basis but managed in foreign currency. The period balance of key date in foreign currency is valuated. Reversal document can be created by selecting 'Reverse postings' in "Postings" tab.

    My feeling here is that simply changing join syntax and case vs decode issues is not going to give any significant improvement in performance, and as Tubby points out, there is not a lot to go on. I think you are going to have to investigate things along the line of parallel query and index vs full table scans as well any number of performance tuning methods before you will see any significant gains. I would start with the Performance Manual as a start and then follow that up with the hard yards of query plans and stats.
    Alternatively, you could just set the gofast parameter to TRUE and everything will be all right.

    Any USB sound related item is going to use system resources instead of the non usb version. The non usb version uses the resources of the sound card and not system resources. So you should get cleaner sound with the non usb version.
    But, be aware creatives tech support is not the best in the world. Keep that in mind when buying a product from them.

  • Whats the difference between and Album and a Smart Album

    OK, just upgraded.... So, whats the difference between an Album and a Smart Album?  
    Also, I like to organise my stuff, so if I create a folder for each year, and then a project within that year, why is it that the photos are always in both - and then again if I chose to create an album specific to a project, they are there again.
    So it might look:
              Folder (2012 Equine Photography)
                   Project - Specific Events
                        Album - Big Barn Dressage May
    Does this mean the individual photo is stored 3 times and using 3 times the space?
    Thanks guys!

    No. Conceptually the Master only lives lives in the single (time based) Project you import it into. Albums are just collections of pointers that point to  images in various Projects.
    "Big Barn Dressage May" could be a Project, but only if it is only one day and a limited number of image files; otherwise an Album. "2012 Equine Photography" should be an album or a Folder of Albums. "Specific Events" could be an Album or a Folder of Albums.
    A Project should not be used as a Folder.
    From an earlier post of mine:
    Folders are indeed flexible organizational tools but IMO often overused. Folders can effectively hide contents from view and therefore require users to remember how folders are nested and what is inside them. Folders were the only way to deal with single-original film, but are IMO limiting to image database thinking.
    The way I look at it conceptually:
    Aperture is a database (DB), and each image file lives in one Project.
    Albums are just collections of Pointers that point to individual image files living in one or more Projects. Since they just contain pointers, albums can be created or deleted at will without affecting image files. Very powerful. And Albums of pointers take up almost zero space, so they are fast and do not make the Library size grow.
    Keywords can be applied to every image separately or in batches. Keywords are hugely powerful and largely obviate the need for folders. Not that we should never use folders, just that we should use folders only when useful organizationally - - after first determining that using keywords and albums is not a better approach.
    As one example imagine the keyword "flowers."  Every image of a 100,000 images Library that has some flowers in it has the keyword flowers. Then say we want to put flowers in an ad, or as background for a show of some kind, or to print pix for a party, or even just to look for an image for some other reason. We can find every flower image in a 100k-image database in 2 seconds, and in another few seconds create an Album called "Flowers" that points to all of those individual images.
    Similarly all family pix can have a keyword "family" and all work pix can have a key word "work." Each individual pic may have any number of keywords. Such pic characteristics (work, family, flowers, etc.) should not be organized via folders.
    So by using keywords and albums we can have instant access to every image everywhere, very cool. And keywords and albums essentially take up no space in the database.
    Another approach is to use a folder "Family" for family pix, a folder "Flowers" for flowers pix and another folder "Work" for work pix. IMO such folders usage is a very poor approach to using an images database (probably stemming from old paper or film work practices). Note that one cannot put an image with family in a field of flowers at a work picnic in all three folders; but it is instant with keywords.

  • Data plan!  why???  whats the difference of me using Wifi or being charged for a data plan?

    Feature phones iterally suck, even the internet pro reviews on the phones are very low and most of the feature phones that are  reviewed  the reviewer gives  their  last comment as "don't buy" .
    I do not need a data plan, ( I carry either a Verizon netbook or a notebook for all my internet needs) nor am I comfortable with the charge of a data plan being necessary or is this simply another way for a large company with a large profit margin to stick it to the consumer knowing we have to maintain a cell phone in this day and age?.
    I had settled on the KinTwo, the reviews are not glowing but .... r not that horrible either.  It is also the only phone which gives the owner WiFi accessibility.  (which makes me wonder if this is the reason Verizon has pulled it off the market).  From my extensive research the KinTwo is the only feature phone choice.  But..... When I went back to the site to order it was gone, and the VW stores do not carry it.
    UGH>  I am so discouraged by the data plans and the extremely high price.  Would someone please tell me what the difference is in my using my Netbook, laptop (notebook) on WiFi and not being charged a data fee?  Or why I can bring Wireless Internet into my home and have all my WiFi accessible electronics connect through my main ISP with an additional fee for each WiFi user????   But I am not able to use a Smartphone this way???
    I am serious about these data plans  are they necessary????

    once upon a time verizon did not require data plans
    many users were happy
    but t h is did not last for users started having problems with thier hands
    they would often hit the wrong buttons and use data
    sometims as little as a mb, sometimes many mb
    verizon forums and customer service started recieving phone calls to get credits for this usage
    after all its not the users fault is it? i mean are they responsible if they had the phone to a 2 year old to play with and the kid brings up the browser?
    so verizon decided it was in its best interest to protect its users.  they started requireing data plans so you wouldnt get hit with huge bills for being an idiot.
    So if you wanna cry about data plans blame all those people out there that complained
