bulk of Explanation: Thickness, also known as caliper, speaks for itself. "Main" or bulk is the ratio of thickness to weight (grammage). "PAPET. Main (d'un papier). Valeur arithmétique exprimant le bouffant et qui est le quotient de l'épaisseur d'une feuille de ce papier exprimée en millièmes de mm. par le grammage" http://www.cnrtl.fr/definition/main "Bulk is a measurement of paper that often determines what type of printers can handle it. Bulk is used to measure the ratio of paper thickness to its weight in cubic centimeters per gram. The formula for bulk is thickness (mm) x basis weight (g/m^2) x 1000. Basis weight is another property of paper you must know to determine bulk. Basis weight is also known as "grammage" and measures the weight of paper per unit area, expressed in grams per square meter." https://sciencing.com/determine-paper-bulk-6636801.html "Because of the higher bulk of 1.5 and its stiffness, Amber Volume allows you to choose a lower grammage and save money due to a reduced total weight." http://www.arcticpaper.com/en/Amber-calculator/ "main f. IMPRIM. papier bulk" https://books.google.es/books?id=_9oqBgAAQBAJ&pg=PA425&lpg=P... "Bulk Bulk expresses the specific volume of a material. Bulk is the inverse of density. bulk = 1 / density = (cm²/g) In the paper trade bulk is a more commonly used measure than density to indicating the "compactness" of paper. Bulk can be calculated by dividing the thickness of a sheet by its basis weight. In some connections, bulk is used to express the thickness of paper or board according to the following equation: bulk x basis weight = thickness For example: Bulk...........Basis weight...............Thickness 1.3..............100 gsm.................130 microns 1.6...............80 gsm..................130 microns This is done particularly when choosing bookprinting paper and packaging." http://www.yes-paper.com/index.php?yespaper=yespaper-paper-g... |

Reference: Main Reference information: « Main d'un papier: Le papier peut être souple (il se plie) ou rigide (comme le carton). On peut mesurer le degré de souplesse ou de rigidité du papier grâce à un rapport entre l'épaisseur de la feuille et son grammage. Par exemple, une feuille dont l'épaisseur est de 300 micromètres et qui pèse 200 g/m2 a une "main" de 1,5. C'est un paramètre important pour l'imprimeur qui - par un choix intelligent de papiers de mains différents - peut obtenir des épaisseurs similaires pour des ouvrages qui ont un nombre différent de pages. » (http://www.editoprint.com/lexique-imprimeur.html) |
