Different sized sheets of paper can be produced with a four-deckle edge.MountingThe process of applying an adhesive to the back of an image or printed piece and attaching it to a board, such as foam core or gatorboard, for display purposes.NNeutral SizingOne method used to reduce the rate at which water penetrates the sheet. It is non-acid and prolongs the life of paper and is used for acid-free paper, as opposed to the traditional rosin sizing which is acidic.Negative SpaceThe area between or around elements of a design that provides balance and contrast. It is often used to draw attention to a particular element in the design.NewsprintPaper made from ground wood pulp and recycled pulp. It is used for printing newspapers.NipThe gap between two rollers on a printing press where the paper passes through as it is printed.Non-Impact PrintingA type of printing that does not involve physical contact between the printing plate and the paper. Examples include laser, inkjet and thermal transfer printing.NozzlePart of an inkjet printer that delivers the ink to the page.OOff-Machine Coated(Process Coated) Body paper which is coated as a separate operation from the actual papermaking of the body paper.Offset CartridgeOriginally, this was a strong paper with a fairly rough surface which printed well; it now means strong, surfacesized uncoated paper, reasonably even-sided, supplied in a range of finishes.Offset PrintingA printing method in which ink is transferred from a plate to a rubber blanket and then onto the printing surface. Also known as lithography, and it is commonly used for large-scale commercial printing. OverprintingThe process of printing one colour over another without mixing them together. It is often used to add subtle touches or accents to a design.OpacityOpacity is determined by the amount of show-through. The less the show-through, the greater the opacity.Optical Brightening AgentAn almost colourless substance used in paper to improve brightness by converting ultra-violet light into visible light.OverlayA piece of paper that is printed with instructions or information and then placed on top of another piece of paper before printing. It is often used to provide registration marks for folding or other types of finishing work.OverrunThe amount of printed material that exceeds the specified quantity. It is often necessary in order to ensure an accurate final count.PPixels Per Inch (PPI ) A measure of pixel density, indicating the number of pixels within each inch of a digital display or image. Higher PPI means greater image clarity and sharpness.Pantone ColourA universal colour language that designers, printing companies and brand owners use. This helps the right colour to be achieved again and again.Pantone Matching System (PMS)An internationally recognized system for accurately mixing and matching colours, which consists of thousands of different shades.

It is often used for magazines or catalogues.PerforationA series of cuts or holes in paper that allows it to be easily separated into smaller pieces. It is often used for coupons, tickets or other items that need to be detached from a larger sheet.pHA measure of the Hydrogenion concentration of a solution. A pH of seven is neutral, below seven is an acid and above seven is alkaline.PickingThe rupture of the paper surface during printing.Plate MakerA machine that creates printing plates from digital files. The plates are then used on offset and other types of presses to print the image onto paper or other substrates. 70
