Youloveprint - Your Print Guide

This week we are starting with PAPER in our series from our ‘Your Print Guide’ helping you understand about the print process!

PAPER - How is it made?

Paper comes from trees! Trees are cut, bark is stripped off, and then the wood is broken into small chips. These chips are subjected to mechanical or chemical pulping to separate the fibres and remove the cellulose and other binders in the wood. The resulting wood pulp is mixed with a water based solution resulting in a thick porridge-like slurry. Chemicals and compounds are added to increase the whiteness and smoothness of the paper.

Once the water has been squeezed out, the paper is smoothed and dried. For coated papers a layer of fine powder (china clay) is applied to one or both sides of the paper. The paper then goes through large metal heated cylinders which polish the paper to increase smoothness and determine the final finish. The more intense the polishing, the shinier the paper.

There are two categories of papers:

Coated:

Coated papers are available in a range of finishes from matt coated (matt, velvet, satin, silk), gloss coated (shiny) to cast coated (very shiny and is normally a single sided material).

Gloss: Hard shiny coating ideal for sharp reproduction and images and the ink dries well on this stock.

Matt: A lighter coating, resulting in a smooth, nonglossy finish, which retains its suitability for sharp colour reproduction. Makes text easier to read due to it’s low reflection.

To prevent the ink from rubbing or marking a seal should be applied to matt papers during the printing process.

Uncoated:

Manufactured in the same way as coated papers, except they do not have a coating applied. They are bulkier than coated papers as the paper is not compressed as much during manufacture. Because uncoated paper is more absorbent, the inks sink into the paper fibres and spread slightly, this is known as dot gain.

This softer, more absorbent surface may cause dulling and darkening of natural ink colour during the litho process, however when digitally printing uncoated paper use has very little impact on colour reproduction. Typical uses include newspapers and general stationery or creatively. Uncoated papers are also referred to as offset papers and cartridge papers.

Paper Weights

Paper weight is specified as grammes per square metre (gsm) also written as gm2 or gm. So, 1m x 1m piece of 100gm paper will weigh 100 gms!

Typical material weights are:

80, 90, 100, 115, 130, 150, 170, 200, 220, 250, 270, 300, 350, 400gsm.

NB: Not all papers are available in all these weights.

Technically, any paper weight over 170gsm should be called board.

Paper sizes

Paper sizes are always referred to in millimetres. Always state height first, width second. UP the stairs....ALONG the corridor!

Example:

A4 portrait = 297mm x 210mm

A5 landscape = 148mm x 210mm

The term “pp” stands for “printed page”. For example, a letterhead is a 2pp. A common confusion is to refer to a folded A4 sheet as a 2pp, (or 2 pages) when in print terms, this is properly referred to as a 4pp.

Printers have to use oversize sheets for printing. This allows for bleed and trimming.

Example:

To print an A2 poster, a printer would use SRA2 size sheets and trim top, bottom and two sides.

SRA2 = 450mm x 640mm

A2 = 420mm x 594mm

There are a number of different paper ‘series’ which use the ISO system for determining sizes:

‘A’ sizes are intended to be the finished job sizes

‘RA’ sizes are to allow grip on the printing press

‘SRA’ sizes allow for both grip and bleed

‘B’ sizes allow for oversize formats

Standard paper sizes

The ‘A’ series of standard paper sizes is based on the following principles:

• Format A0 has an area of one square metre.

• The height divided by the width of all formats is equal to the square root of two (1.4142).

• Format A1 is A0 cut into two equal pieces (ie the height of A1 is equal to the width of A0).

Show-through

As well as deciding what type of paper to use (gloss, matt, uncoated, recycled) and what weight of paper to use (gsm) it is worth considering how the print will appear on the reverse of the paper.

For example, if we print a very dark image onto an 80gsm paper, and the reverse of the sheet is blank, there is likely to be a visual darkening on the non-printed side of the paper. This is not marking or ink transfer. It is simply an optical effect of light weight papers. The thicker/heavier the paper, the less noticeable the effect of show-through will be.

Digital papers

Whilst there are some restrictions on minimum and maximum thickness of paper when digitally printing there is still a wide range of different papers and colours which can be utilised some specialist to digital printing and some both litho and digital print compatible. We ensure the best paper is selected if your job is printed digitally.

The next in our series will be paper and the environment. So look out here or on our social media for our update!

¿Veis esas dos barquitas de madera que bajan por un río entre acantilados? 🙃 Efectivamente, es nuestra nueva libreta dentro de esta serie de paisajes orientales. Como podéis ver, tiene colores más azulitos para que no se diga que no nos atrevemos con todo. 🧐. De hecho, nos ha inspirado para buscaros un poema de un poeta muy famoso de nuestra tierra, Andalucía. Perdonad, casi se me olvida poneros la ficha técnica. 👇 Tamaño A5 - Papel de 90 gr - 90 páginas. Precio 23 euros (envío incluido) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Ya te vemos dormida. Tu barca es de madera por la orilla. Blanca princesa de nunca. ¡Duerme por la noche oscura! Cuerpo y tierra de nieve. Duerme por el alba, ¡duerme! Ya te alejas dormida. ¡Tu barca es bruma, sueño, por la orilla! (Federico García Lorca) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ #handmadenotebooks #pepinpress #pepinpresspaper #handmade #handmadeproducts #handcraft #chineseart #hechoamano #papeleriabonita #libretas #cuadernosartesanales #libretasartesanales #creativepaper #giveaway #giveawayspain #artesania #artesanias #arte #art #artesanal #hechoconamor #artesaniaalmeria #artesaniaalmeriense #stationery #stationerylovers #grabado
