Variety and specifications of printing paper
1． Letterpress paper
Letterpress paper is the main paper used for letterpress printing of books and magazines. Letterpress paper can be divided into four grades: No. 1, No. 2, No. 3 and No. 4 according to the different composition ratios of paper materials. The number of the paper represents the quality of the paper. The larger the number, the worse the paper quality. Letterpress printing paper is mainly used by letterpress printing machines. This paper has properties similar to, but not identical to, newsprint. Since the ratio of paper pulp and the tapping of pulp are better than newsprint, the fiber structure of letterpress paper is relatively uniform. At the same time, the gaps between fibers are filled with a certain amount of filler and glue, and have also been bleached, which forms The adaptability of this paper to printing. It is slightly different from newsprint. Although its ink absorption is not as good as newsprint, it has the characteristics of uniform ink absorption; its water resistance and paper whiteness are both better than newsprint. Letterpress paper has the characteristics of uniform texture, lint-free, slightly elastic, opaque, slightly water-resistant, and certain mechanical strength.
Weight: 49～60)±2g/m2.
Specifications of flat paper: 787×l092mm, 850×ll68mm, 880xl230mm; and some special size paper.
Web specifications: width 787 mm, 1092 mm, 1575 mm, length approximately 60m to 80oo meters.
2. Newsprint
Newsprint, also called white paper, is the main paper used for newspapers, periodicals and books. The characteristics of newsprint are: the paper is soft and has good elasticity; it has good ink absorption performance, which ensures that the ink is fixed on the paper quickly; the two sides of the paper are smooth and lint-free after calendering, so that the printed imprints on both sides are better Clear and full; has certain mechanical strength; good opacity; suitable for high-speed web printing. This kind of paper is produced from mechanical wood pulp (or other chemical pulp) and contains a large amount of lignin and other impurities. Not suitable for long-term storage. If stored for too long, the paper will turn yellow and become brittle, with poor water resistance, making it unsuitable for writing. Newspaper ink or book ink must be used. The viscosity of the ink should not be too high. The moisture content of the page must be strictly controlled during offset printing.
Weight: 49～52) ±2g/m2.
Flat paper specifications: 787×1092 mm, 850x ll68 mm, 880x l230 mm.
Roll paper specifications: width 787mm, 1092mm, 1575mm; length about 6000~8000 meters.
3． Offset paper
Offset paper is mainly used for lithographic (offset) printing machines or other printing machines to print higher-end color prints, such as color pictorials, albums, posters, color-printed trademarks and some high-end books, as well as book covers. Illustrations etc.
Offset paper is divided into three types: special, No. 1 and No. 2 according to the pulp ratio. There are single-sided and double-sided, and there are two grades: super calendering and ordinary calendering.
Offset paper has small elasticity, uniform absorption of ink, good smoothness, tight and opaque texture, and good whiteness. Strong water resistance. Conjunctival offset printing ink and better quality lead printing ink should be used. The viscosity of the ink should not be too high, otherwise powder removal and fuzzing will occur. To prevent dirt from sticking to the back, anti-fouling agents, powder spraying or lining paper are generally used.
Weight: 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 120, 150, 180g/m2.
Flat paper specifications: 787 × 1092 mm; 850 × 1168 mm.
Web specifications: 787 mm, 1092 mm, 850 mm.
4. Coated paper
Coated paper is also called printing coated paper. This kind of paper is coated with a layer of white slurry on the base paper and pressed. Made of light. The paper surface is smooth, the whiteness is high, the paper fibers are evenly distributed, the thickness is consistent, the elasticity is small, the elasticity is good, the water resistance and tensile properties are strong, and the ink absorption is good. Sexual and receptive conditions are very good. Coated paper is mainly used for printing albums, covers, postcards, exquisite product samples, and color trademarks. The pressure should not be too high when printing on coated paper, and offset resin-based inks and glossy inks should be used. To prevent dirt from sticking to the back, methods such as adding anti-fouling agents and powder spraying can be used.
Weight: 70, 80, 100, 120, 150, 180200, 210.240, 250g/m2.

is displayed, but you still need to copy the fonts that can be used to output the film. Only fonts that can be displayed and input can
not waste your own time.
3. Don’t forget to convert the color of the linked picture from RGB to CMYK, otherwise the film will have
color confusion after the film is released.
4. When converting Pantone spot colors to CMYK colors, please confirm whether the same effect will be achieved.
After converting Pantone spot colors to CMYK, there will generally be certain differences between the two. After some Pantone spot colors are converted to
CMYK, the same effect can be achieved according to output experience, but those Process Pantone Color is definitely beyond the reach of
CMYK, so it can only be solved by adding spot colors.
5. Double scanning of pictures; single output can improve the scanning quality of pictures.
6. The simple question of whether the bleed of the typesetting file is set to 3mm often frustrates some experienced computer experts; whether the colors in the typesetting software are set according to the color scale value. Set? So please do a final check.
7. The printing proof corresponding to the film is the most worry-free reference for the printing factory. If there is no proofing
due to various reasons, please provide at least one printout (color is best, if not available, black and white is also good)
We need the above One of the two to check the film.
4． Differences in chroma between film, proofs, printed matter and computer screens:
Film and its corresponding proofs are the best choice to reduce errors and save both you and us costs and time. Philippines
The proofing corresponding to Lin is closest to the printed product. The print effect displayed on the computer screen is much brighter than the actual print.
It cannot be used as an equal reference, so the printing proof must prevail.
· This is because the color formation of the monitor and the color printing paper are completely different. The display uses the principle of the three primary colors of red, green
and blue to emit light to form an image. This color formation principle is called RGB, which is widely used in televisions and computer monitors. superior.
·Color printing is to print red, yellow, blue and black inks on paper products to form color images
This principle is called CMYK. It is widely used in four-color offset printing technology.
· Another important reason for the obvious difference between computer display and printed matter is the color standard of the monitor
If your computer monitor is not color calibrated correctly, the computer display will be significantly different from a computer monitor that has been
correctly calibrated. Therefore, it is also necessary to ask professional and technical personnel to adjust the display effect in time.
·Differences in printing materials will also cause differences in printing effects. Generally speaking: the printing effect of coated paper is much brighter than that of offset paper.
