Factory printing paper

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Factory printing paper is machine-smooth, wood-free or slightly wood-containing printing paper that is made to the highest possible volume with the addition of filler . Its weight ( square meter ) is usually 80 to 90 g / m².

In the book making it is usually for classic black and white - books in the fiction and non-fiction books used. Factory printing papers are produced in various colors and surface qualities. These higher-volume papers are less easy to leaf through, they are rather bulky.

Factory printing papers differ from art paper mainly in their higher volume (sheet thickness) with the same sheet weight. In addition, art print or picture printing paper is a coated paper , on which a layer of glue and mineral earth is applied to the paper - this layer is missing in the factory printing paper. Factory printing paper therefore has a slight to pronounced surface roughness. The structure of the wire used in the paper machine remains visible and tangible.

If true-to-original reproduction of photos and paintings in four-color printing is necessary for a book , coated paper is usually not used, but rather coated paper.
