English term

ink holdout

GBK English to Spanish Tech/Engineering Printing & Publishing
Definition from Robert Horne Group:
Degree to which a paper surface resists penetration of ink. An inked image printed on paper with a high degree of ink holdout will dry by oxidation rather than by absorption. Coated papers tend to exhibit a high degree of ink holdout.
Example sentences:
All coating consists of two primary ingredients— pigment and adhesive. The pigment provides the sheet with its brightness, ink holdout, smoothness, and gloss; however, pigment is a powder that must be bound to the sheet by an adhesive. (www.graphpros.com)
They tend to have good ink holdout and minimal dot gain, which can be especially important for recreating sharp, bright printed images, black and white halftones and four color process images. (disk.com)
Due to the non-absorbent substrate, ink holdout is maximized. This outstanding feature allows for many graphic effects to be achieved with combinations of opaque white for backing up images, leading to crisp contrasts which are ideal for 4 and 6 color work. (Vacumet Corp. )

retención superficial de la tinta

El Rutledge define "ink holdout" como "poca absorbencia de la tinta". Yo encuentro esta definición un tanto pobre y con connotaciones negativas, cuando puede no tenerlas en absoluto.
Definition from own experience or research:
Grado en que un papel u otro sustrato retiene la tinta de impresión en su superficie (en lugar de absorberla por porosidad), hasta que ésta seca por oxidación.
Example sentences:
Muy buena retención superficial de la tinta (ink holdout), que produce un impreso de mayor brillo y disminuye el "print through" (Papelnet)

Definition from own experience or research:
La absorbencia es la capacidad de absorción de un líquido por parte de un sólido poroso. La absorbencia de tinta e sla capacidad de absorber la tinta de un papel determinado.
Example sentences:
Dicha imperfección suele estar ocasionada por la absorción de la tinta por el ... de tinta con objeto de no superar la capacidad de absorbencia del papel. (glosario1)
Peer comment(s):

disagree Darío Giménez : Yo creo que es precisamente lo contrario. La capacidad de no absorber la tinta, de que quede retenida en su superficie... :-)
