Initial Preparation & Setup - We take pride in providing you only the best and we make a considerable
effort to get your order right. Each order is individually handled and custom watermarked. These INITIAL
Steps are one time charges and do not apply to reorders.
25% Rag - Paper that is made from cotton cuttings . There are two grades, 25% and 100% indicating the
percentage of cotton fibre in the sheet. The term "Fine Paper" generally refers to Rag sheets.
Recycled - Our paper manufacturers use de-inked post-consumer fiber that is 60% recycled with 30%
post-consumer fiber - Paper that has reached its intended end-user and then discarded. Paper made at
least in part from recovered fibers. There is no universally acceptable definition so requirements vary by
specific circumstances.
Acid Free Paper or Archival Quality - Paper which has had the acid removed from the pulp so that it has
a neutral 7.0 pH is known as acid free paper, and is more stable over long periods of time, sometimes
lasting for centuries. The alkaline paper process has been increasingly adopted by paper manufacturers
because of technological and economic incentives C it results in reduced water consumption, facilitates
waste treatment and saves energy and materials costs. It is also cleaner and less corrosive to
machinery than acid- based paper making.
Job printing - In the olden days printers would print books and newspapers, and to supplement their
income they would take in "jobs" or orders for other types of printing. Ergo, "Job Printing". It's considered
unfashionable for printers to use the term today.
.
Printer's Devil - An apprentice, usually "low boy on the totem pole" who cleaned the ink from the presses,
and got himself covered in black ink in the process. The devil, symbolized as a black creature, became
the apprentice's moniker. Perhaps the most famous "printer's devil" was Benjamin Franklin. The term
dates from the mid- 1700's, perhaps earlier.
