Question:
Where can I find resources to learn the terminology of printing and print buying?

A. F.

Answer:
Great question! Learning printing and print buying terminology is one of the bigger hurdles when first learning to buy print.

Print Buyers Online.com has an extensive, free glossary on our e-community, reprinted from International Paper. It is located on the main page of our Paper Center. This glossary has more emphasis on paper terminology than general printing terms. You can view it here:

Print Buyers Online.com also has thousands of terms scattered in our weekly and archived tips, Q&As and articles. So, be sure to frequently visit our e-community.

Getting It Printed, a great basic print production book by Mark Beach and Eric Kenly, also has a good glossary.

I hope this helps.
