Cut quality

The accuracy of the sheet cutting process affects paper handling and image quality.

When paper is cut with a dull blade, edges stick together to form “edge welds,” which cause paper jams and excess paper dust in the printer. Paper dust is also created when folio sheets are cut from the roll. A good paper mill takes steps to remove dust from paper before wrapping it.

Loose fibers on the edges of cut sheets can lead to printer contamination and visible fibers within printed images.

If the cut is not exactly square, skewing, jams, and stacking problems can occur. Image quality defects also occur due to misregistration in the paper path.

Slight variations in sheet cut size can also cause sheet to sheet registration problems in bindery operations.

In-house trimming and paper cutting

Xerox recommends the use of pre-cut paper in the Xerox Nuvera.

KEY POINT: If you must cut sheets before printing, an in-house maintenance program that ensures knives are kept sharp and dust is removed with a vacuum or air system will be key in achieving good results. Failure to do so could result in excessive downtime and service calls.

If a custom cut is required, it is recommended that you use a rotary slitter.

Xerox recommends trimming sheets after printing has been finalized to prevent the generation of paper dust and printer
