Basic Paper Primer
Paper weight is based on the basic size of a given paper as determined by a given mill. For this reason, many weight notations one finds has at least 2 separate numbers. This does not necessarily mean the weight fluctuates between the two. Generally with printers and suppliers is not a range, but a definition from more than one source and may include more than one grade of paper (bond, text, etc.). A 50/60# paper is ordered as 50# and as 60#. However, when put through standardized testing, it is found that each sheet carries the same weight. All specifics supplied If in doubt, check with the business presenting the number information for formal explanation. Gregath paper suppliers do recognize the standard variation in basis weight of + or – 5% as acceptable by industry standards.
Paper brightness affects the legibility and contrast of printing. The brightness test measures the reluctance of paper under strict optimal conditions and related it to a white standard (Magnesium Oxide). The test is mainly applicable to white paper grades. Basic offset grades are usually in the 80% brightness range. Aesthetic importance may also be given to the brighter papers. However, if archival quality is a focus, one must be certain that it is not traded for the brightness. White papers with 90+ brightness sometimes actually have a blue or colored cast due to additives.

Splitting binding types for economy: Final book publishing costs can be reduced by the types of bindings that are chosen. While a full project of hardbound books (standard, deluxe, or color) may not be affordable, a publishing of softbound books are. Depending on the project, it may be possible to hard bind a few of these special to accommodate special paid pre-orders, special gift and family books, collector editions, etc. By printing the text blocks at the same time, offset orders even saves on printing, versus publishing a hand full of hardbound books separately.
