Glossary Term | Definition |
|
|
ream | 480, 500 or 1000 sheets of paper in a sealed package. |
recycled paper | Paper manufactured with a specified percentage of |
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. |
