Raw arch
Raw arch is a technical term used in book production . It describes the finished, printed paper coming out of the printing machine in stacks , which is then further processed in the bookbindery . The raw sheet, which is printed on both sides but has not yet been trimmed, is also referred to as a printed sheet or simply a sheet .
Depending on the paper format of the raw sheets, after folding a sheet results in a fixed number (up to today mostly 16) pages. Larger printing and binding machines can also process larger formats; accordingly more pages are then on the sheet.
For better processing, the raw sheet should contain the following printed information in addition to the actual text:
- Investment brand
- Collision marks
- Fold marks
- Cutting marks
- Register marks
- Color control strips
- Bow signature .
As a benefit or benefits count the number of copies is designated to be cut from a sheet.
