HELPFUL GUIDELINES for PAPER USAGE

• Prior to use, paper should be allowed to acclimate at least
  48 Hours in the environment in which it will be used.
  Optimum storage facility would retain temperatures between 70-80 degrees F
  with 50% relative humidity.
• Before loading paper, fan the sheets on all four sides.
  This creates a small layer of air between the sheets which should help
  printer feeding mechanisms.
• Do Not Stack Materials such as Designer Gold, Designer Silver,
  Super Color Gloss, Super Color Photo, Super Color Photo Cards,
  Super Color Shrink. Feed into printer one sheet at a time.
• Load Materials according to the instructions in the
  printer owner's manual.
  Recommended feeding is generally to use the manual feed tray, or the straightest path through the printer.
• Upon Completion, the unused material should be stored in a
  closed package, re-sealed and stored flat.

Glossary of Paper Terms

Acid Free Paper
Paper manufactured to a neutral pH reading (7).
Used for fine art prints, limited edition printing, scrapbooking

Antique Finish
Random surface quality created by "felts" in the manufacturing process

Brightness
Light reflecting property of paper when measured under a specially calibrated blue light.

Basis Weight
The weight of one ream of paper (500 sheets) when cut to the industry standard for that specific grade of paper.

Bristols
Solid or laminated heavy-weight printing paper made to a thickness of .006" or higher. Bristols are often used for printed items that require repeated handling.

Bulk
The thickness of paper when compared to its weight. A high bulk paper is thicker but less compact than a low-bulk paper of the same weight and size.

Calendering
Part of the paper manufacturing process where the paper "web" passes between polished metal rolls. This increases the paper's smoothness and provides a uniform thickness (caliper).

Bond	Uncoated "plain" paper - free from impurities. Also referred to as "free sheet."
Recycled	Paper manufactured from the waste paper stream. All Micro Format recycled products contain a minimum of 100% recycled material including 40% post consumer waste
Waste Paper Stream	Waste paper created during the paper manufacturing process
Post Consumer Waste	Processed Paper that has been re-used in manufacturing new paper products
Carbonless	Paper coated with special encapsulated chemicals that produce a duplicate copy without the use of carbon paper
Thermal	A paper coated with special chemicals that produce an image when heat is applied
Groundwood	A low cost paper that contains unprocessed wood fibers.
Symbol "#"	"pound" - used to describe paper weight Click for additional information on PAPER WEIGHT
Symbol "M"	Meter - 1 meter=39.37 inches
Symbol "mm"	Millimeter - 1 inch=25.4 millimeters
Symbol "sc"	Self Contained Paper paper that can be imaged in a printer without the use of a ribbon
Symbol "cb"	Coated Back - Carbonless Paper (part 1)
Symbol "cfb"	Coated Front and Back - Carbonless Paper internal part in a multipul part form
Symbol "cf"	Coated Front - Carbonless Paper (last part in set)
Symbol "sccb"	Self Contained sheet with carbonless coating on back normally used as part one in a multi part set in an impact printer using no ribbon
Symbol "sccb/cf"	Carbonless set - Self Contained Coated Back Sheet Part 1 Coated Front Sheet Part 2
Symbol "w"	Paper Color - White
Symbol "c"	Paper Color - Canary
Symbol "p"	Paper Color - Pink
