Long Grain Paper
|
|
Refers to the fibers in paper lining up parallel with the longest measurement of the paper. For example, the paper fibers, or grain, in a long grain 11” a 17” sheet of paper are parallel with the 17” dimension. When paper is torn parallel with the grain, it will tear easily. The tear will also be fairly straight. Paper folded parallel with the grain produces a cleaner fold than if folded perpendicular to the grain. Folding a digitally printed application parallel with the grain is important because folding perpendicular to the grain may cause toner to flake off in the folded area, although because of improvements in technology, this problem is not as common as it once was. Many types of digital printers require the use of long grain paper for the best results. Long grain paper is also known as grain long paper.
