Uncoated Paper:

Paper that has not had a final coating applied for smoothness. Uncoated paper is absorbent and soft in appearance.

Under Color Removal (UCR):

Reducing the cyan, magenta, and yellow inks independently within the darkest neutral shadow areas in an image reproduction and replacing them with a controlled amount of black to reduce the total tonal density. The three colors are reduced so the shadows have better detail, improved trapping, and more consistent reproduction.

Unjustified:

Type set with lines of unequal length. The most common kind of unjustified text is aligned at the left and unaligned on the right, also referred to as ragged right.

Unsharp Masking:

A function of image editing software that increases the overall contrast at the edges of tonal or color changes by exaggerating the differences. In the scanner or color manipulation work-station, the computer reads the digital signals to locate where the color changes occur and then adjusts the tones and colors to create a more sudden change. If carried to an extreme, the exaggeration can result in an outline effect between some colors. 

Untagged Files: 

Files that don’t have a profile attached to them.

-Up:

In printing, two-up, three-up, etc. refers to imposition of material to be printed on a larger size sheet to take advantage of full press capacity.
