Perforated Paper
A perforation is a series of holes punched through the paper to aid in the separation of one piece from another. Perforated paper can cause jams, misfeeds, and even printer damage. The following guidelines should be used when ordering perforated paper:
Perforations should be free from any burrs and paper dust to avoid multiple feed, | |
| contamination, or paper jam problems. |
| Avoid use of perforations that are not flat. |
| Not Recommended |
| The ratio of cut to uncut in a perforated line should be 1:1. |
