Technical Glossary
Comprehensive technical definitions for textile technology, AI pattern generation, and industrial printing standards.
Industrial Core Standards
300 DPI (Dots Per Inch)
CoreThe standard pixel density required for commercial textile printing. Sapphire AI upscales legacy 72 DPI archives to 300 DPI+ to ensure sharp, non-pixelated fabric outputs.
SSIM (Structural Similarity Index)
CoreA perceptual metric that quantifies image quality degradation caused by processing. Sapphire targets >0.95 SSIM compared to the original hand-drawn art.
Node Count Optimization
CoreThe process of reducing unnecessary control points in vector paths. Sapphire Vectorizer produces 40% fewer nodes to prevent lag in CAM/CAD cutting machines.
SVG Tiny 1.2 Subset
CoreA strict SVG profile optimized for mobile and industrial devices, ensuring 100% compatibility with legacy RIP software by excluding complex filters.
RIP (Raster Image Processor)
CoreSoftware that converts digital images into printing dots. Sapphire assets are pre-flighted to ensure 0-error processing in major RIPs like ErgoSoft and Wasatch.
