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.
