The Right Paper For The Right Job

Smooth Sailing

Formation—the evenness and uniformity of the fiber laydown in a paper—is critical in producing fine color and laser images.

"If your paper has a rough surface, your high-dpi equipment's fine printing capabilities will be lost," says Hieronymus. "One dot will be on a hill, another will be on the side of the hill, and a third will be in a valley." With smooth paper, laser and color copying equipment can achieve the print quality that they were designed to achieve.
