Marketing - Printing & Publishing / printing industry | | Dutch term or phrase: sluitende | from the same sentence as the last question I posted...:Loupe-zuivere, messcherp gestoken letters, feilloos ***sluitende*** kleuren en precisie-kalibratie zijn maatgevend voor een etiket dat het predikaat allerhoogste kwaliteit mag dragen.
I don't know if they mean 'balanced' here or that there's a clear division between the colours used......the heat is baking my brain!
TIA. |

| | aligned | Explanation:
would be my suggestion.
Each colour in a printing process is on a different layer of film, which must be aligned properly with reference marks, so that they overlap evers so slightly and that no white line appears between the colours, when they have been printed.

Why would the source text use \"feilloos\" for matching of colours. In printing practice a \"precise alignment\" can never be achieved, because the paper stretches with humidity and temperature. So all printing of colours is done with overlays, where the dots of colout merge (so that no line effect is created - unless required) and no white lines can ever appear between the colours.
20 years in publishing and printing.
Furthermore, coulours always merge (unless pure colours are used - i.e. no dots of colour). All colours other than 100% are composed from the basic printing colours.

And \"calibratie\" (registration) also indicates that this is what its all about, namely the alignment, not a matching. Matching would be bbetween different colour surfaces. |

| Grading comment Thanks Alexander, sorry for the delay. After a mini-computer crash (beware of the Microsoft patches everyone!) and some consultation with the client, this appears to be the best answer.
Thanks all!

Explanation:
This means that the colours do not merge. So maybe this would do.
