Student Name ____________________________________________ Date _____

After reading Ch. 20, answer the following questions:

1. What is a sheetfed offset press? is an offset press designed to print a single sheet of

paper at a time.

2. What is a webfed offset press? is a press that prints with one long continuous web

of paper fed from a roll.

3. What is a perfecting offset press? is a press that prints on bothe sides of the paper

at the same time.

4. Look at the teachers examples, can you see a difference between sheetfed, webfed, and

perfecting? It doesn’t seem like they are that different.

5. What is the purpose of the dampening (fountain) solution? The dampening unit moistens

the nonimage areas of the plate with fountain solution so ink does not ad-

here to them.

6. How does the Dampening Unit work? The fountain roller transfers a thin film of

fountain solution either to the ductor roller or directly to the form rollers. If a

ductor roller is used it transfers the solution to a distributing roller and onto

the form roller.

7. What is in the Dampening (fountain) solution? water is the main ingredient and a small

amount of concentrated acid.

8. According to the book, figure out the correct ratio of concentrated acid to water: 1 or 2 part

concentrated acid to 15 parts water.

9. If our fountain solution needs 12 ounces of solution per gallon of water, how many ounces of water

do I need? 128

Therefore my ration is: 12: 128 ounces

Now reduce it to its lowest terms: 3 : 32

10. Describe the use of pH strips and conductivity meters to monitor dampening solutions to

maintain print quality? Printing quality and press performance depend on the

proper mixture of ingredients, therefore a pH strip helps monitor the acidity

in the fountain solution.

TEACHER NOTES:

I usually have the students take the pretest on a Thursday.

Unfortunately, review game zone only offers to keep track of the students scores if you pay for it. So if you want to just walk around and observe who is doing well and who isn’t. I just write down a list of students that need to do more to understand the material.

Then on Friday, the students that needed more I have them fill out the study guide while watching the video presentation on the chapter.

The students that need enrichment get to play a game to earn candy.

1. Log onto a computer and go to the following website:

• http://reviewgamezone.com/index.php

2. On the right side it has a box that has ‘Games by ID#’ type in 6153.

3. To get started, select a game from the list below and test your knowledge on ‘Offset Press Fundamentals’

4. If you did not do well, you might want to complete the study guide on the other side of this paper.

chapter 20 - pretest

chapter 20 - stUdY gUideName_______________________________________

Directions: Using the book, read Chapter 20 and answer the questions below.

Know your vocabulary terms.

Know how to read a job ticket.

What are the three cylinders used on an offset press? know the definition for each. PLATE - the part of an offset press holding the printing plate. BLANKET - the part of an offset press holding the rubber blanket that accepts images from the plate. IMPRESSION - the part of an offset press carrying the stock through the printing unit and forcing it against the inked blanket, where the image is transferred to the stock.

What is the difference between a sheetfed, webfed, and perfecting presses? sheetfed press: an offset press designed to print a single sheet of paper at a time.

webfed press: a press that prints with one long continuous web of paper fed from a roll.

Perfecting press: is a press that prints on bothe sides of the paper at the same time.

What are the six main operating systems of an offset press? know the definition for each.

Feeding Unit: the system on a press that transfers the paper or other substrate from a stack or roll to the registration unit.

Register Board: a platform that accepts a sheet from the feeder unit and inserts in in register, ready for printing.

Printing Unit: the part of the printing press where printing takes place. This unit contains the plate cylinder, blanket cylinder, and impression cylinder.

Dampening Unit: a press system that moistens the nonimage areas of the plate with fountain solution so ink does not adhere to them.

Inking Unit: the portion of the press consisting of the ink fountain and rollers that control the feeding of the ink.

Delivery Unit: a system on offset presses and duplicators that delivers the printed

Why is maintaining the correct pH balance in fountain solution important? Printing quality and press performance depend on the proper mixture of ingredients, therefore a pH strip helps monitor the acidity in the fountain solution.

What is the ratio for water to fountain solution, if it is 12 ounces solution per 1 gallon water. (hint: convert gallons to ounces, then reduce to the lowest terms) 12:128 = 3:32

TEACHER NOTES:

Once the bell rings, the instructor will hand out an Offset Press Fundamentals Word Search.

The first 5 people that correctly complete the word search puzzle will get some candy.

After you are finished, turn in your Chapter 20 packet.
