Paper Property Values

When you create a TotalFlow Production Manager paper to represent a paper in a printer paper catalog, set its properties to the values in these tables.

For details about supported paper types, how to load paper into the trays, and other information about paper types, see the documentation provided with your printer device.

Printing on Thin, Plain, or Thick Paper

In this table, printer devices are classified by type. If a printer device type has no value for a paper type, the printer device does not support that paper type.

If you print on any of the paper types listed in this table, set the Weight (gsm) property in the TotalFlow Production Manager Properties for Paper dialog according to your printer device. Accept the defaults for these properties:

  • Paper type
  • Color
  • Recycled content (%)
  • Preprinted
  • Prepunched
  • Texture
  • Coating (front side)
  • Opacity
Changing the default can override the value of the Weight (gsm) property.
