Shear strength
Cohesive strength of the adhesive.
Sizing
Additives applied to paper (internally or externally) that improve offset
printing qualities and resistance to liquids.
Skew
Slant of printed lines in reference to the edge of the paper due to paper
moving through the printer in something other than a straight path.
Smoothness
The degree of smoothness of the print material. If the paper is too rough,
the toner does not fuse to the paper properly, resulting in poor print quality.
If the paper is too smooth, it can cause paper feeding problems in the printer.
Smoothness is measured in Sheffield points; lower values indicate
smoother paper.
Splatter
The appearance of black specks around a printed image. Generally related
to printing on stock that is too heavy or has a surface that repels toner.
Stacking
How well the paper stacks in the output bin.
Stringers
Small bits of adhesive found on top of a pressure
‑
sensitive material at the
die
‑
cut and perforated areas. Stringers are indications of a dull blade and
are related to the shear strength of the adhesive.
Stripped edge matrix
Labels with a portion of the area around the outer edge of the cut sheet
removed.
Supercalendering
A process where paper passes through heated, polished steel and
compressed cotton rolls that "iron" the material to a high gloss, polished
finish.
Tenting
The creasing of perforated material when it is flexed.
Thermography
A printing process that raises the ink image or design above the surface of
the base material. Also known as electro
‑
thermography.
Ties
Small areas along perforations or die
‑
cuts in the face material of a label
(pressure
‑
sensitive material), or in card stock, which are not cut through.
Ties help stabilize the form and prevent tearing at the perforations and
die
‑
cuts.
Toner
The material that adheres to the paper or print material to create the printed
image.
Total strip matrix
Labels that have the unneeded portion of the die
‑
cut stock around the
labels, including a portion between the labels, removed to make it easier
to peel labels from the backing.
Vellum finish
A finish with a rough surface similar to eggshell and antique finishes. A
vellum finish is relatively absorbent, providing good ink penetration.
Zone coating
Placing adhesive in selected areas only. Allows no adhesive areas along
edge of labels. Also known as patterned adhesive, pattern coated, dry lap,
separator, and strip coated.
