Refers to a range of paper properties that influence print results, including gloss, smoothness, whiteness and opacity.
the ability of paper to give the truest reproduction of the original image at the maximum efficiency, a combination of print runnability and print quality
Describes how smoothly paper runs in a printing press
Ease with which paper can be printed to high-quality standards with the least amount of spoilage.
General performance characteristics of an ink.
Refers to surface characteristics on the face stock that relate to printing quality and is an indication of which face stocks are the best choice for the print quality desired.
The characteristic of a paper which allows good performance on the press and yields printed material of high quality. to top
The ability of a paper or board to accept printing and return a suitable reproduction of the design intended.
The characteristics of a paper which lead to a good quality of the printed piece including true reproduction of copy.
The characteristic of a paper which allows good performance of the press and which yields true reproduction of copy by the process used.
How well a particular sheet appears after the printing process in regards to ink receptivity, uniformity, smoothness, compressibility and opacity. It involves a complex interrelationship of many paper properties. Best methods for predicting printability are those which simulate actual printing conditions and which are reproducible from test to test.
The quality of papers to show reproduced printed images.
How well a paper performs with ink on press. Absorbency, smoothness, ink holdout, and opacity all affect the printability of a paper.
The overall performance of the paper on press.
Subjective term referring to how well paper reproduces an image.
Function and interaction of paper with other components, e.g. the ink in the printing process; subjective assessment judged from the printing result and covering all the paper properties that influence the results of printing an image. Compare runability
A paper term which refers to the properties of the paper that affect its appearance and the quality of reproduction.
