The ability of a paper and board to perform and run through a printing press or on converting machinery without problems.
Each grade of paper behaves differently on press. A paper's ability to absorb ink uniformly (absorbency), printed ink gloss (holdout), dimensional stability, and surface texture are all important factors to consider when preparing your design. For example, a paper with excellent opacity will present crisp, full-color images without 'showing through' on the back of the sheet, and can provide more flexibility when designing and laying out the printer's form.
Paper's performance on a press and its ability to withstand the stresses of a running press unaltered. Not the same as printability.
The ability of an embossing process (or any other process) to run smoothly, without interruption, and with a minimum of attention from the machine operator or from the maintenance department. Bottom
Paper properties which effect the ability of the paper to run on the press such as a too high or low humidity content.
Paper qualities (strength, dimensional stability, cleanliness, and surface integrity) that determine how well a sheet performs on the press.
The ease with which a paper moves through a printing press. This is primarily determined by the paper's strength, tear resistance, dimensional stability, bonding strength and water resistance.
The ability of a paper or board to perform on a printing press without problems.
A paper's capability to be transported trouble-free from the roll stand or feeder of a printing press or converting machine to the delivery Runner boards (used to prevent rolls/skids from shifting in transit.)
