Digital Paper Handling Tips EDUCATION SERIES DIGITAL PAPER HANDLING TIPS PAPER STORAGE AND CONDITIONING Like any other high-performance, high-quality product; a little conditioning goes a long way with digital paper. It can be the difference between ‘okay’ and ‘outstanding’ when it comes to print results! At Paper Mart, we’re proud of our digital paper selection. It’s top quality and, when properly cared for, you can expect optimal performance. While the guidelines of paper storage & handling may seem obvious, the subtle guidelines that we’ve outlined below will ensure best results. FOR OPTIMUM CONDITIONING follow these storage guidelines 1. Leave paper in its wrapper until you are ready to load it into the machine. 2. Do not store paper directly on the floor. Keep it on pallets, on shelves or in cabinets 3. Store paper at a temperature between 68°F/20°C to 76°F/24.4°C with a relative humidity between 35 to 55 percent. PAPER STACKING to avoid crushing Your paper order will normally be shipped to you in sturdy fiberboard cartons. The number of reams in each carton depends on the size and weight of the paper. If you have ordered a large quantity, the cartons will be stacked on wooden pallets. DIGITAL Stack individual reams or cartons carefully on top of one another. This will help you to avoid crushing the edges or causing any permanent damage. Pile cartons no PAPER more than five high. Pallets can be stacked three high. HANDLING PAPER HANDLING to avoid unnecessary damage TIPS Treating paper cartons with care is extremely important. Dropping, throwing, striking with a forklift, or otherwise mishandling paper cartons can result in damaged to en- paper. You may not even notice the damage until you have paper jams or other to ensure feeding problems. sureoptimum optiperformance- CLIMATE AND MOISTURE CONTROL to prevent production problems Store your paper on shelves, pallets or in cabinets rather than on the floor to avoid moisture absorption. Choose an area that’s protected from extreme temperatures and humidity. Temperature and humidity are critical factors in how digital paper performs in your copier or printer. Most environments with air conditioning systems provide the proper mix of temperature and humidity. If you are in an environment that is not air conditioned, follow these guidelines: 1. Minimum temperature of 50°F/10°C with 15 percent relative humidity 2. Maximum temperature of 81°F/27.2°C with 85 percent relative humidity 3. Optimum temperature of 68°F/20°C to 76°F/24.4°C with 35% to 55% relative humidity P: 1.800.772.2001 • E: [email protected] • W: www.papermartinc.com DIGITAL PAPER EDUCATION HANDLING TIPS SERIES UTILIZE ORIGINAL PACKAGING to maintain proper consistency To achieve best results, we recommend you leave packages sealed in their original wrapper within the shipping carton. Do not open the wrapper until you are ready to load the paper into your copier or printer. The package wrapper has an inner lining that will guard against moisture absorption. Once you open the wrapper, the protective barrier is gone and moisture can seep in and cause excessive curling or other problems. After opening the original wrapper... After you open the package, reseal the wrapper with tape if you will not be using all the paper immediately; for example, if you’ll be leaving it unused overnight. Better still, store unused loose paper in a resealable plastic bag. Do not store paper in your machine’s paper trays. Take sheets from the center of the package if a package has inadvertently been left open. Store coated paper in resealable bags or covered storage boxes after opening the original wrapper. PAPER CONDITIONING to increase or maintain efficiency in print production Moisture Xerography is very sensitive to moisture in paper. High humidity causes damp edges and wavy paper. Low humidity dries paper edges and makes it contract and become tight. Poor performance is the result! That is why it is so important to condition your paper. As a rule, condition uncoated paper a minimum of 24 hours and coated paper a minimum of 48 hours. Transparencies and label stock also require conditioning , 24 hours and 72 hours, respectively. Separating cartons accelerates the conditioning process. Repacking Equally important to the steps taken before printing, are the steps taken to ensure a quality product is delivered to your binder, finisher or end user. Here are a few helpful tips: • Print with the least amount of heat needed to set ink • The sheets should be covered once printed, especially if there is lag time between print and bindery • Finished projects should be placed into plastic bags or wrap, cardboard boxed, palletized and plastic wrapped Information & Inquires PAPER MART INC.

  • 1 Expanding the Impact of Ecolabels: Leveraging Standards to Propose Sustainable Practices for Paper Products Without Certificat
    Andrea A. Bassetti Expanding Ecolabel Impact Spring 2019 Expanding the Impact of Ecolabels: Leveraging Standards to Propose Sustainable Practices for Paper Products Without Certifications Andrea A. Bassetti ABSTRACT An ecolabel is a voluntary certification that can be put on a product’s packaging to indicate that it has fulfilled certain requirements to be more environmentally, socially, and fiscally sustainable. Due to a lack of standardization and trust from stakeholders and consumers, certifying bodies have focused on creating certifications that will sell, covering only a few common products that are used across multiple industries. I investigate whether information from existing certifications and Environmental Preferable Policies (EPP) can be used to expand the range of products covered by ecolabels. Using certified paper products as a test case, I explore the possibility of making practice suggestions for products that are similar in nature but have no certifications available. Out of a total of 79 paper products, only 12 are covered by certifications. I isolated one product at a time and used the other 11 products to make practice predictions. The result showed high levels of precision, with an average of 96% correct suggested practices over total suggested practices. The accuracy levels were lower, with an average of 59% correct suggested practices over the total available practices. The precision levels show that the suggestions were correct, and therefore we can use information across products as long as they are similar in nature. The accuracy level showed that the method can be improved to be more comprehensive of the practices. These results show that there is potential to increase product coverage, therefore improving environmental practices across the market.

    2017 Edition Value Creation in the Digital Paper and Packaging Business Inspire and Shape a Digital World That Reinvents Quality and Productivity SAP Digital Paper and Packaging - 1 - © 2017 SAP SE or an SAP affiliate company. All rights reserved. ALFRED’S POINT OF VIEW Dear Industry Professional: The global paper and packaging industry is in a state of transition as it considers how to survive and thrive in this age of digital media and paperless technology. As the world population approaches 10 billion people, the rising middle class in emerging econ- omies consumes more and more hygiene products, and demand for consumer goods accelerates at an incredible pace – requiring appropriate packaging. Although this situation may sound like great news, many analysts expect paper consumption to grow at an annual rate less than 1%.1 This kind of growth can’t really provide relief to current markets, which are characterized by overcapacity and price erosion. But even this marginal growth is distributed unevenly across the globe and subsegments within the paper industry. The loss of business volume to digital media in segments like newsprint or advertising causes a severe decline in those areas. Additionally, mature markets, such as Europe and North America, show little to no growth, even for hygiene products, while global trends like Along the entire value increasing environmental regulation and volatile energy and transportation cost are shaking the chain, suppliers, paper market. producers, and packaging The consequences for the industry are dramatic. Proven business models and business plans converters will use digital based on enormous capital investments in plants and assets are collapsing.

Nearly five decades later, she has become a nationally recognized artist, a 2007 MacArthur Fellow, and the creator of an admirable body of work, and those early prints, along with many others, have returned to Rutgers. The Zimmerli Art Museum at Rutgers is proud to present Dancing with the Dark: Joan Snyder Prints 1963-2010, the first monograph and comprehensive exhibition dedicated to the prints of this celebrated artist. While there have been a number of exhibitions and catalogues about her paintings, Snyder’s prints are less well known. This project surveys the extraordinary range of her graphic achievement and her significant contributions to American printmaking.
