A layout in which two or more copies of the same piece are placed on a single plate. This is useful for printing several copies of a small layout, such as a business card, on a single sheet. Also called a multiple-up layout.
Repeated exposure of an image on the plate to form a pattern
The same image printed continuously in a pattern on the product.
Dimensionally positioning same or intermixed functional multiple patterns accurately within a given area on a photo plate or a film by repetitious contact or projection printing.
Action where engraving tool completes a job and moves to a new starting point (step), and then duplicates the job (repeat). If controlled by software, function usually also calculates the number of step-and-repeats possible for the sheet of substrate being used, as well as counting the number of step and repeats performed. See serialization.
A method by which successive exposures of a single image are made to produce a Multiple-lmage Production Master Artwork.
Technique of affixing multiple images on a film or plate to extremely close tolerances.
A procedure for placing the same image on plates in multiple places.
Same image printed continuously in a pattern on the same sheet of paper.
In photo-mechanics, the procedure of multiple exposure using the same image by stepping it imposition according to a predetermined layout or program.
The multiple exposure of an image by stepping it in multiple positions and exposing in each position to create a repeat pattern using one original image.
Many of the front-end processes (diffusion processes) employed to form multiple chips on a single wafer progress in single-chip units. When one chip has been processed, the processing point is shifted by one step — the degree of which is determined by the size of the chip — and processing of the next chip begins. This sequence is repeated until each chip on the wafer is completed, thus the process is referred to as "step-and-repeat".
The process of repeating an image or a group of images by "stepping" it into position using a predetermined measurement. This can be accomplished digitally in many page layout programs, or manually using photomechanics.
Photomechanical process of using negative or positive images to produce multiple images.
