reflectivity The ability of paper to reflect light. Smooth and coated papers reflect light more
directly than rough papers, producing sharper images.
reliability A paper’s ability to run on the press without jams, multifeeds, and misfeeds.
resistivity The resistance of direct current between opposite parallel faces of a cubic centimeter
of a material.
scored paper Paper that has a groove along a line on which the sheets will be folded.
shade The color of paper or the slight tint to a sheet of white paper. White paper can have a
slight blue, yellow, or pink shade. The human eye interprets a white sheet with a slight
blue shade as being truly “white.”
sheet
topography
The physical features of the surface of a sheet of paper.
simplex printing Printing on one side of a sheet only.
sizing The treatment of paper (internal or surface) with materials that alter fibers to change
paper properties such as resistance to liquids, smoothness, stiffness, and surface
strength.
skew To shift out of square alignment with the paper path or the resulting tilt of images with
respect to the sheet edges.
smoothness The evenness or flatness of the surface of paper.
solid area
coverage

stock attributes The set of characteristics that define a single instance of a paper in the Xerox Nuvera
Stock Library. Stock attributes include stock size, type, coating, and drilled or

Stock Library The table of papers, on the system interface, that can be loaded into paper trays.
Each paper is defined as a combination of media and stock attributes. The Xerox
Nuvera uses Stock Library information to change press settings for individual papers.
stock Paper or other material to be printed.
surface strength The resistance of a paper’s surface to shedding fibers, coating, or other particles
during the printing process.
