A secondary image often with faint overlapping edges.
Displaying something on the screen, generally text, less distinctly than normal to indicate that it is currently unavailable. Often used in menus.
An ink starvation shadow through an image area when one image on a form "steals" ink from the ink train and doesn't leave enough to sufficiently cover an image behind it in the same revolution of the printing cylinder.
A press error which causes a faint image to appear on a press sheet.
This is a common term for double images. If you look at a clock and some of the numbers have a lighter ghost image just off to the side, this is ghosting. Detailed Double Vision and Ghosting After Lasik Information
When a faint image on a printed sheet can be seen where it was not intended to appear.
A motion artifact in monitor displays of compressed video images. As an image moves quickly across the field of view (e.g., an arm waving) it leaves a trail of 'ghost' images that resolve as the movement stops.
Indistinct image patterns appearing as solids or reverse printing, typically caused by poor ink distribution, inconsistency in plate and/or substrate thickness, and/or poor base ink formulation.
A unwanted faint image that appears on a printed sheet
Ghosting means multiple overlaid TV images or "ghosts" which you can notice around the objects while watching TV. Ghosting is caused by the broadcast signal traveling to your TV through various obstacles, for example hills or tall buildings, and your antenna picks up the original TV signal along with signals reflected by the obstacles. If the ghosting is changing rather than static, it may be caused by the signal reflected by flexible objects, for example trees.
The reason a coin will sometimes show a faint sign of one sides design on the other. The best example are the early pennies of George V where the head is nearly always visible behind Britannia on the reverse. Ghosting is due to the dies hitting each other without a blank in place. See example.
An image editing term that refers to reducing the image density in a selected area until it becomes faint and very light. Designers will frequently "ghost" part of an image to allow type to be positioned over the image.
A video blemish where the image from a previous frame is faded but visible in the following frame, resulting in blurry motion. It is often seen on old television sets or on cheaper DV cameras.
A shadow or weak secondary image as seen on a monitor or display which is created by multiple path broadcast transmission errors.
Is an undesirable video effect where there is a "ghosted" image that is offset from the primary image.
When the printed image on one side of a sheet shows through as a light, ghost image on the opposite side of the sheet.
Outlining or multiple images of the primary TV picture offset to either side. A leading ghost is caused by direct pick-up (Off air signal getting into the cable system) while a following ghost is usually caused by signal reflection.
A faint image caused by faults in inking or printing
Refers to the effect where multiple overlaid TV images are noticeable around the edges of objects. This occurs when the antenna picks up multiple signals in addition to the original signal due to reflection from objects or other distortions. Also refers to the image left on a screen as a result of burn-in.
A latent image of a previously printed form appearing in a subsequent image. Also a image that has been intensionally lightened and placed in the background of a form..
() A Ghosted illustration is one that reveals the internal components by fading out the exterior skin of the object.
Ghosting is the popular term used to describe multiple TV images generally caused by the antenna receiving the same signal via two or more different paths. It is not encountered in satellite television systems.
Reproduction, very faint, of printed design without actual ink transfer.
Also known as gloss ghosting. A condition occurring during sheetfed printing when inks containing drying oils are used in production. Vapors from drying ink on one side of a press sheet interact chemically with the dry ink densities printed on a sheet in contact or on the reverse side of the same sheet creating unintended faint images.
Faint or indistinct images appearing within solids often replicating reversed images. May be caused through inadequate rolling power or poor pigmentation of the ink showing the ghosting.
The faint appearance on one side of a coin of the design from the other side, usually caused by poor design or production methods. The amount of metal displaced by the design of one side is greater than that displaced by the other side, so that when the blank is struck by the dies, the metal tends to flow towards the "heavier" side, and away from the lighter side. A faint negative of the main features of the heavy side can be seen on the lighter side. Ghosting is noticeable on many British coins of George V, particularly in the earlier part of the reign. The portrait on the obverse of the coin was very large, and can be seen on the reverse of the coin.
A phenomenon primarily visible in tube-type imagers where a ghost of an image remains in the scene when the camera or subject moves. Most observable as a result of bright light sources on dark backgrounds, ghosting or lag has been almost entirely eliminated by CCD imagers.
Ghost images are unwanted images that reduce print value. Mechanical ghosting develops during the delivery of the printed sheet and is traceable to on-press conditions, ink starvation, form layout, and even to the blanket itself. Chemical ghosting, which occurs during the drying process of ink on paper, is especially bothersome because the condition cannot be detected until the job has been completed.
Also known as gloss ghosting. A condition occurring during the printing process when vapors from drying ink on one side of a press sheet interact chemically with dry ink or blank paper on sheets in contact with or on the reverse side of the same sheet creating unintended faint images.
Occurs when a ghost image appears in the printed image. It results from inadequacies of the inking system, i.e. uneven ink take-off from the rollers. Ghosting always appears on the same side of the sheet that the printing takes place.
A faint printed image that appears on a printed sheet where it was not intended. More often than not this problem is a function of graphical design. It is hard to tell when or where ghosting will occur. Sometimes you can see the problem developing immediately after printing the sheet, other times the problem occurs while drying. However the problem occurs it is costly to fix, if it can be fixed. Occasionally it can be eliminated by changing the color sequence, the inks, the paper, changing to a press with a drier, printing the problem area in a separate pass through the press or changing the racking (reducing the number of sheets on the drying racks). Since it is a function of graphical design, the buyer pays for the increased cost.
The momentarily overlapping or superimposition of video images generally associated with standards conversion.
Faint tabby markings seen in some solid-coloured cats, most commonly seen in kittens, they may fade or disappear as the kitten ages
An offset printing defect characterised by the appearance of faint replicas of printed images in undesirable places in one of two ways. Mechanical ghosting is characterised by the appearance of a "phantom" image on the printed side of the sheet. Chemical ghosting is characterised by a "phantom" image on the reverse side of the sheet originating from the sheet below it.
A distortion of image due to irregular healing of the corneal surface.
Also know as crosstalk. This is an undersirable effect in stereoscopic graphics where the left eye images can be seen by the right eye and vice versa. This leads to a breakdown of the stereoscopic effect. Different types of stereoscopic display devices exhibit different levels of ghosting.
(a) An image which appears as a lighter area on a subsequent print, due to local blanket depressions from previous image areas. (b) Marring of a print by an image on it of work on the reverse side which has interfered with its drying, so that differences in the trapping of some colours or gloss variations are apparent.
A coat of paint with a thin appearance, caused by improper priming of walls.
Phenomenon in which a faint image appears on a printed sheet where it was not intended.
The undesirable appearance of faint replicas of printed images, caused chemically or mechanically. to top
Also known as Multipath Distortion, this occurs when broadcast signals and signal echoes (reflected off buildings or other obstructions) reach the radio or TV receiver at slightly different times. In television this phenomenon creates multiple images.
A faint image or a lighter area on print
Seeing two or more images at the same time from a single viewpoint in a lenticular image. This is caused by several problems including poor registration or a pitch mismatch, images with too much contrast, the use of too many images/frames, and/or exceeding the resolution capabilities of your output device in conjunction with a particular lens sheet. back
A faint image from another area of the sheet that reappears in the solid.
A screening technique that entails scanning an image full-strength, then screening it back to reduce the dot size.
Ghosting occurs when two signals are received at almost the same time, create a double image on your TV screen.
phenomenon of a faint, unintended image on a printed sheet.
A shadowy or weak duplication of the original image. It can be the result of transmission conditions where secondary signals are created and then displayed earlier or later than the original signal. Ghosts can also be the result of burning an image on a screen or by a mirror.
Etching of images permanently on a monitor's screen. 8.31
Very faint reproduction of printed design without actual ink transfer. Shadows or indistinct images appearing in solids or reverses typically caused by poor ink distribution and/or poor ink formulation.
Phenomenon of a faint image on a printed sheet where it was not intended to appear.
In painting, patches of lighter color showing in dry coat; a coating with a skippy appearance.
A condition in which the printing image appears faint where not intended, caused by an abrupt change in ink take-off on the rollers; often occurs when printing flat borders, L-shaped solids, and circles and can generally be avoided in design by making sure the solid areas are well separated to permit a more even distribution of ink by the form rollers
