the capacity a paper has for accepting liquids, like the inks or water used to run offset lithographic presses. (see also ink absorption, ink holdout)
paper manufactured on a paper machine with the wet-end chemistry controlled to a neutral or slightly alkaline pH. (see also alkaline papermaking, archival, permanence, pH, wet end)
a water-based coating applied after printing, either while the paper is still on press (”in line”), or after it’s off press. An aqueous coating usually gives a gloss, dull, or matte finish, and helps prevent the underlying ink from rubbing off. Unlike a UV coating or a varnish, an aqueous coating will accept ink-jet printing, making it a natural choice for jobs that require printing addresses for mass mailings. (see also coated paper, finishing, UV coating, varnish)
paper that’s alkaline and won’t deteriorate over time. Archival papers must meet national standards for permanence: they must be acid-free and alkaline with a pH of 7.5 to 8.5; include 2% calcium carbonate as an alkaline reserve; and not contain any groundwood or unbleached wood fiber. The expected life of archival paper is more than 100 years. (see also acid-free, alkaline papermaking, permanence, pH)
