The phenomenon by which, when the relative humidity of the air is lower than that of the paper, the edges of stacked sheets dry out and contract (tight edges), causing the paper to buckle in the middle.
Wrinkling or puckering caused when paper, fabric, or any sheet of support material dries unevenly.
Wrinkling or puckering in paper supports caused by applying washes onto a flimsy or improperly stretched surface.
(Waving, Buckling, Warping, Curling, Undulation, Gondolage) Localized deformation or a repeating and regular pattern of deformation in paper, usually across the sheet or around the edges due to irregular drying or 6 fluctuating relative humidity. Cockling is sometimes considered to be more closely and regularly spaced than buckling.
Wavy edges (or wrinkling or buckling) caused by unequal expansion due to paper being damper or drier than the atmosphere.
when the surface of the paper is undulated.
A rippling effect given to the surface of a sheet of paper which has not been properly dried. Moisture pickup of the sheet can also cause the cockling or wavy edge.
Paper ripple due to ink moisture.
Deformation of a sheet of paper due to unequal shrinkage giving it a slightly crumpled appearance. This can occur as part of the heatset web offset drying process, particularly on lightweight coated papers.
A broad wrinkle or system of wrinkles without creasing.
Ripples or waves in a paper due to storing under conditions of unstable relative humidity.
Distortion or waviness caused by the rippling of an artwork and its support.
