NLS-Glossary

A printing mode where one label at a time is printed. The label is presented to the operator, separated from the backing paper. When the label is taken from the printer, the next label is printed and presented. 

The property of a substrate material that minimizes show-through from the back side or the next sheet. The ratio of the reflectance with a black backing to the reflectance with a white backing. Ink opacity is the property of an ink that prevents the substrate from showing through.

In optics, aberration is a property of optical systems, such as lenses, that causes light to be spread out over some region of space rather than focused to a point ``deviation from perfection of an optical system``.

This technique is employed to provide precision alignment between paper mill rolls, multiple bearings along a shaft, machinery beds, and printing press rolls. Even the slightest misalignment can cause elements to work against one another resulting in mechanical wear, premature failures, and defective product.

Technology for machine reading of human readable text.                                                                                                                                                                                            

Fiber lasers with MOPA architectures have a seeder section which determines the initial optical properties to be amplified through the various amplifying stages.
