Perforated paper

	Table 3-15. Perforated paper
Description	Paper that has been laser or mechanically cut or perforated with lines of
	small, regularly spaced holes or slits so a sheet can be easily separated into
	sections. Mechanical perforations (spiked wheel or die cut) create paper
	dust and chaff as well as a slight bulge below the perforations that prevent
	dry ink from adhering properly. Laser perforations do not create dust and
	chaff and do not deform the paper.
Selection tips	• Select laser perforations whenever possible.
	• Choose perforated papers between 75 and 216 gsm.
	• Perforations should be created so sheets will maintain as much stiffness
	as possible.
	• Perforations should be strong enough to not tear during the printing
	process.
Storage tips	Follow general guidelines in Chapter 2, Managing your paper supply.
Usage tips	• To prevent contaminating the press, use only mechanically perforated
	papers that are free of paper dust and chaff.
	• Where possible, load with the perforation parallel to the feed direction.
