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 printer 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 topography
The physical features of the surface of a sheet of paper.
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 coverage
The area of paper being covered by dry ink, especially by a photo.
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 printer 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.
synthetic stock
Non-cellulose sheets resembling paper. Most are made from thermoplastic
materials.
tab stock
A cover weight stock that is slightly longer in one dimension than normal size
sheets and used to mark off sections. Precut tabs are stamped to remove all but
a small tab on the extending edge.
