Glossary
Adhesive contamination
Migration of adhesive away from a label, which can cause printer
contamination. Also known as glue contamination.
Anvil cuts
Cuts that penetrate both the face stock and the liner of a label.
Back splits
Also known as back slits or liner cuts. Cuts through the backside of the liner.
Back slits increase the potential for adhesive contamination.
Basis weight
Weight in pounds of a specific number of sheets of paper or stock in a
standard size for that particular material.
Beam strength
Also known as column strength. Refers to how well the material is able to
support itself and remain flat and straight during the printing process.
Butt cut
Cut flush to one another, with no extra area between. This cut does not
extend through the liner. Butt cut labels may or may not have an edge matrix
removed.
Calendering
The process of moving paper through metal rolls during manufacturing to
smooth and gloss the surface of the paper.
Conversion
The process that turns base stock into cut
‑
sheet products designed for
specific applications. Conversion includes cutting the base stock to size,
perforating the stock, die
‑
cutting, and applying inks and topcoats.
Converters
Print material suppliers who take the base stock from the manufacturer and
convert it into cut sheet products.
Corner buckler
The metal tab at the corner of a paper tray that helps the printer separate
one sheet of paper from the stack during the pick process.
Curl
Waviness or curvature at the edge of the material that is generally moisture
related.
Cut sheet
Single piece (page) of paper or label stock.
Debossing
Process of pressing an image down into the surface of the label or card
stock. See also
“Embossing” on page
116
.
Delamination
The peeling of labels off the backing during the printing process.
Die
‑
cut
Labels: Cut of material (face stock) to form individual labels on sheet. Cuts
do not penetrate the liner. Card Stock: Cuts made with dies to create the
shapes wanted in the stock. Cuts may or may not go completely through
the stock. See also
“Ties” on page
118
.
Driver edge
For printers that use a fixed reference for feeding paper through the paper
path (as opposed to printers that center paper in the path), the edge of the
print material that is positioned next to the hardware reference and that is
driven by the rollers in the printer. For most Lexmark printers, the driver
edge is the left edge of a portrait page.
Embossing
Process of raising the surface of the base material by stamping an image
or design with an embossing machine. The machine has a roll with a raised
image on the surface. As the print material passes through the machine, the
image is pressed into the material. See also
“Debossing” on page
116
.
Feed
How well the stock moves out of the paper tray and through the printer.
