R Raster Image Processor (RIP) A raster image processor (RIP) is a software component or device driver used in laser engraving systems to interpret, process, and convert raster image files into engraving commands that control laser behavior. RIP software analyzes raster image data, including pixel colors, densities, and patterns, and generates engraving instructions such as laser power levels, scan speeds, and pixel mapping coordinates. RIP software plays a critical role in optimizing engraving quality, speed, and efficiency by applying image processing algorithms, dithering techniques, and halftone patterns to raster images. Advanced RIP software may also support color management, image editing, and engraving parameter customization, allowing operators to achieve precise and accurate engraving results for a wide range of applications and materials. Advanced RIP systems offer features such as advanced color management, screening algorithms, ink optimization, and workflow automation to optimize print quality, efficiency, and productivity.
Renoir, Auguste 1841-1919: A French impressionism painter who worked alongside Claude Monet, Alfred Sisley, and Camille Pissaro. Order a Renoir classic art print today.
Reproduction A reproduction is a copy of an original. This copy may be made using the same materials as the original (for instance, one artist reproducing an earlier artwork), or a digital copy of the original may be created using a printer. Reproductions make it possible for the artist to sell the same work to multiple buyers, and allow collectors to purchase a less costly version of an original artwork.
Resin Coating A viscous, liquid epoxy resin is poured over the mounted paper print or reinforced stretched canvas to produce a smooth, clear surface. Once cured, the hardened resin creates a high-shine, glass-like coating that enhances color and dimension to the artwork. Order your resin coated fine art print today. Order Online: Epoxy Resin Ex-74
Resolution Every digital image is made up of picture elements (pixels). The number of pixels determines the resolution. The more pixels your photo has, the clearer your photo remains as you increase its size.
RGB A color mode or system representing the primary colors that are combined to display all the colors seen on a traditional computer monitor. It stands for Red, Green, Blue.
Rigid Backing Foam core (also called foam board) and Gatorboard can be used as backings in picture framing, to keep the artwork safe from dust and damage. Alternately, paper prints can be dry mounted onto foam core, Gatorboard or dibond (aluminum sheeting) for a frameless, laminated display. Occasionally, prints are mounted onto wood boards to provide additional support for resin coatings or plexi face mounting. Order Online: Rigid Backing Boards
Rubber pads Also called bumpers or bumps, these half sphere, self-adhesive pads are placed in the bottom corners of a picture frame or canvas print to keep it from scratching or scuffing the wall when hung. Foam bumpers are also available. Order online: Bumpers
