Color Application Techniques on Map Designing in Prepress

Abstract

This paper is focused on the color application on map designing in prepress, detailed study is carried out on the color application basic principles for map designing, different data source color conversion and settings, color conversion in designing software, color management and digital proofing, color conversion in prepress workflow, etc. Application and discussions in more detail are put forward on color application in map designing and processing settings in prepress workflow. Gray-value consistency principle is put forward and used in color map designing, and the color application techniques in prepress workflow are summarized. Color map designing efficiency may be raised by appropriate color settings and color conversion control in prepress workflow, and the prepress traps can be avoided caused by irrational color application and conversion in color map designing.
