The relative flatness of the tape backing.
Texture of the surface of paper. Also called its finish. Generally determined with a tester that measures time required for a given volume of air to flow between the surfaces of the paper sample and a piece of optically flat glass under standard loading conditions.
A precise measurement of the surface texture of a sheet of paper. Smoothness plays an important role in how well a given paper will print on a given technology. A very smooth sheet may be too slippery for a system to move reliably. Too rough a sheet may affect image quality.
The evenness of the substrate surface making it ideal for all the printing processes.
Measured property of paper that describes or rates the flatness and evenness of a sheet's surface.
Measure of degree of surface irregularity in a sheet of paper
A precise measurement of the surface of a sheet of paper, optimized for print equipment. Too smooth a sheet may cause runability problems; too rough a sheet may affect image quality.
the opposite of roughness; the surface texture of the paper
The surface quality of a sheet of paper, related to the flatness of the sheet. Mills classify the smoothness of uncoated papers as follows (from roughest to smoothest): mimeo, vellum, antique, eggshell, wove, satin, and luster. Coated papers are classified by gloss.
a texture without roughness; smooth to the touch
The even and consistent continuity of a paper surface.
The even and consistent continuity of the surface
Essentially the surface flatness of a paper. It is not the same as 'gloss' (which is an optical property) and is not related to porosity.
The surface property of paper that describes its degree of uniform evenness and flatness. When printing, the smoother the paper, the better the ink dot formation and the sharper the image.
Flatness of a sheet of paper, which affects the resolution of the printed image.
The even and consistant continuity of the papers surface.
Measure of paper surface irregularities. Sheffield Smoothness is a measure of the formation induced irregularities. Parker Print Surface measure the paper surfaces micro variation in roughness.
That quality of paper defined by its levelness which allows for pressure consistency in printing, assuring uniformity of print.
The rate of flatness and evenness on the surface of a sheet of paper.
The surface uniformity of paper. Sheets that are flat and even provide better ink dot formation and sharper images.
The sensuous feel of a sleek sheet… smoothness is pretty crucial to making sure toner sticks correctly, and to prevent misfeeds and the dreaded paper jam. Pick up some paper, and the first thing you pick up on is its smoothness. Umm.
The flatness of a sheet of paper, which generally determines the crispness of the image printed on it. to top
Levelness of paper resulting in uniform, consistent pressure during printing.
The surface consistency and evenness.
Paper smoothness is crucial to correct toner adhesion and to prevent jams and misfeeding. Smoothness also is the first thing many people notice when picking up a piece of paper.
Degree of evenness and regularity of the surface of a paper sheet; opposite to roughness
The surface quality of a sheet of paper, related to the flatness of the sheet. Smoothness affects ink and toner receptivity. The Sheffield scale measures smoothness. A higher value typically indicates a rougher sheet. For example, Navajoâ€(tm)s smoothness is 45, whereas vellum offset may have a rating from 200-250.
