Paper comes in many different makes, types and finishes. There are many different
ways to print on the paper and then protect that printed image. The grain direciton, fibre
structure, substrate thickness, porosity, coating type, bond strength of the coating, water
content, relative humidity and many other things can affect how the paper will behave
when you crease and fold it. We recommend that you learn to identify these differences.
Be prepared to make small adjustments to the machine to stop any problems that they
might cause.
Guidelines
:
-Always make sure that the sheets of paper you use are cut square. This machine is
designed to fold the paper at right-angles. It cannot do this if the paper edges are not cut
at 90° angles to each other.
-Always make sure that all of the paper for a job is cut the same. This machine uses the
sheet length that you set to automatically set the crease and fold positions on a document.
The document will not be accurate if the paper length is not set correctly, or if the length of
the paper changes during a job.
