opacity | The ability of a sheet to block light and to prevent a printed image from showing |
| through on the opposite side of the sheet, or from a sheet below it. |
paper dust | Small particles of fiber, filler, or coating found on the surface or edges of a sheet of |
| paper. |
paper handling | A paper’s ability to run on the press without jams, multifeeds, and misfeeds. |
paper orientation | The way a sheet of paper is conceptually positioned (portrait or landscape), or the |
| way paper is positioned in a paper tray (short edge as the lead edge, reinforced strip |
| facing down etc.). |
paper path | The route that a sheet of paper takes through a press, from the paper tray to the |
| output tray. |

printability | A complex property of paper that allows high quality printing. Printability is a |
