reflectivity	The ability of paper to reflect light. Smooth and coated papers reflect light more
	directly than rough papers, producing sharper images.
reliability	A paper’s ability to run on the press without jams, multifeeds, and misfeeds.
resistivity	The resistance of direct current between opposite parallel faces of a cubic centimeter
	of a material.
scored paper	Paper that has a groove along a line on which the sheets will be folded.
shade	The color of paper or the slight tint to a sheet of white paper. White paper can have a
	slight blue, yellow, or pink shade. The human eye interprets a white sheet with a slight
	blue shade as being truly “white.”
sheet	The physical features of the surface of a sheet of paper.
topography
simplex printing	Printing on one side of a sheet only.
sizing	The treatment of paper (internal or surface) with materials that alter fibers to change
	paper properties such as resistance to liquids, smoothness, stiffness, and surface
	strength.
skew	To shift out of square alignment with the paper path or the resulting tilt of images with
	respect to the sheet edges.
smoothness	The evenness or flatness of the surface of paper.
solid area	The area of paper being covered by dry ink, especially by a photo.
coverage
specialty stocks	Stocks designed for printing special types of jobs that cannot be printed on common
	stock types.
stacking	The process of placing sheets emerging from the print engine in the output tray or on
	the cart.
static	Electricity that is generated as low moisture paper moves through the system.
stiffness	A paper’s resistance to bending or deforming under stress.
stock	A single instance of a paper, as listed in the Stock Library. A stock is programmed and
	loaded into a feeder tray.
stock attributes	The set of characteristics that define a single instance of a paper in the Xerox Nuvera
	Stock Library. Stock attributes include stock size, type, coating, and drilled or
	undrilled.
Stock Library	The table of papers, on the system interface, that can be loaded into paper trays.
	Each paper is defined as a combination of media and stock attributes. The Xerox
	Nuvera uses Stock Library information to change press settings for individual papers.
stock	Paper or other material to be printed.
surface strength	The resistance of a paper’s surface to shedding fibers, coating, or other particles
	during the printing process.
