Short Grain Paper
|
|
Refers to the fibers in paper lining up perpendicular to the longest measurement of the paper. For example, the paper fibers, or grain, in a short grain 11” a 17” sheet of paper are perpendicular to the 17” dimension. Paper that is torn perpendicular to the grain is difficult to tear evenly and does not tear cleanly. Paper folded perpendicular to the grain, produces a ragged fold and toner on digitally printed applications may 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 experience feeding problems when short grain paper is used. Short grain paper is also known as grain short paper.
