The relationship between paper and typesetting

The last point in the coordination plan that we need from printing to binding should take into account the role of “paper”. It is important to remember that if we want to choose the best typesetting method, we should better understand the role of "paper" and the best typesetting method. We should better understand the size and thickness of a large sheet of printed material and the permitted size of the size of the book. Inside, fold up the pages of the most pages with the minimum pages.

The relationship between the paper typesetting method is divided into the following five points: (1) paper size, (2) fiber orientation, (3) weight (also equal to thickness), (4) squared (Squaring), 5) Shingling.

Paper size

Most small and medium-sized prints of paper are purchased from paper stores that contain a variety of paper types. Most papers come in several sizes, but they are not always fully compliant with the size of the print. The plan of the prints also needs to select the general size of the book pages to match the general size of the paper. However, this consideration can be changed for long-run printing. We can think of our specific purpose for the paper mills. Paper.

Fiber direction of paper

The fiber direction of the paper must be parallel to the spine of the book. This is the most basic rule and it cannot be ignored. Sometimes there are some advertising prints that use the opposite fiber direction, but this kind of situation is very short and often, and requires careful planning. In general, the fiber direction must be parallel to the gutter.

The weight of the paper line

The controlling factor in determining the number of pages a book page should contain is the weight of the paper. The heavier paper should be folded into an 8-page stack. The lighter paper is usually folded into a 16-page stack of pages. The best is 32 pages, but there are also 64 pages. A specific decision is governed by the details of the print.

The right angle of paper

The need for precise origami prints and "flip-over" typesetting requires that the paper be squared before printing. In other cases, the right edge of the edge of the paper is at right angles to the edge of the paper jaw.

Of outer sheet extrusion line (Shingling of Papeer)

When using the saddle stitch binding method, the number of pages inserted on the inside surface can be quite large, but "thickness" (pushout) is easily generated for thick paper. For such prints, in order to resist the problem of “extrusion”, it is necessary to look at how much adjustment is necessary to deal with the amount of change in the binding margin and the outside, and select the size of the book page accordingly. Some examples are for folding and cutting, and it is necessary to adjust the "Cuutter" so that it is properly aligned with the page number.
