Paper Progressions

• The emergence of new cut sheet sizes to support new equipment applications. The new color printers are capable of full bleed 11x17˝ printing, creating the demand for a 12x18˝ paper size. The use of DocuTechs for book publishing has created a demand for 9x12˝ and 9x14˝ size cut sheets.

• The emergence of roll-feed devices to support high-volume sheetfed monochrome printers, like the DocuTech. Similarly, laser printing devices that have traditionally required tractor feed holes are now moving to pinless technology. These equipment innovations are significantly increasing the demand for digital papers to be supplied in roll formats.
