8 Caliper Caliper (also called bulk): Is the thickness of the paper compared to it s weight. Measured in thousandths of a cenameter (microns) and someames in points (hundredths of an inch) Rough papers (high bulk) tend to be thicker than smooth papers (low bulk)of the same weight.

11 PAPER Paper is ogen referred to as stock, and is available in a variety of weights depending on its use (and budget).

12 PAPER Weight: Is measured in grams per square metre (g/m 2, gsm or grammage) (Have a look at a packet of photocopy paper what is the gsm?)

13 PAPER The US does it differently: Poundage or substance is measured in pounds per ream, and a ream is 500 sheets.

14 Other characterisacs of paper include: Opacity The amount of show through, unprinted and printed. Opacity is measured electronically with light and viewed as a percentage. For example a sheet with 100% opacity is completely opaque.

16 Other characterisacs of paper include: Colour Dyes are added during the paper making processor by coayngs added agerwards. Whiteness is affected by what the paper is made of and how it has been bleached. Colour will also affect how inks appear printed on the paper.

17 Other characterisacs of paper include: Finish The finish of a paper is a descripyon of its surface. Textures are pressed into paper as it is made or are created by the raw materials making up the paper.

18 Other characterisacs of paper include: Smoothness Smoothness (or coated paper) is created by polishing or drying the paper over smooth steel drums during the producyon process. Another way of making a paper smooth is by coayng the paper fibres with clay. CoaYngs can occur ager prinyng too. Eg.: wax, plasyc, laminate, varnishes and foil.

19 DisAncAve finishes such as ripples are created by embossing the paper.

20 Other characterisacs of paper include: Sizing This process during the making of paper controls the absorbency and is responsible for keeping the ink on the surface and prevenyng feathering.

21 Paper comes in three basic types: 1. Uncoated; Like it says, uncoated paper has no coayng on it. It looks flat. Almost all colored paper is uncoated. Use: some brochures, flyers, pieces which will be wrinen on, newsleners, inexpensive four- color pieces

22 Paper comes in three basic types: 2. MaCe; these papers have a thin coayng applied which is not buffed to a shine. It is ogen described as having a "dull" finish. MaNe paper is a linle less expensive than dull coated paper. Use: NewsleNers, stayonery, price lists, interior of some catalogues, flyers, directories, manuals, order forms, short- lived pieces

23 Paper comes in three basic types: 3. Coated; these papers have a coayng applied to them. They start out as uncoated. Ager the coayng is applied, the sheet can be leg alone, in which case it's called a "dull" finish. If the sheet is buffed to a shine, it's called "gloss". Uses: Dull: Higher- end brochures, four- color pieces Gloss: Catalog covers and interiors, brochures, sell sheets, portolios, postcards
