3. Weight of the paper stock being fed.
The weight of the paper stock, within the normal range of stocks used for index tabs, has some effect on
the running rate or production of the machine. If the stock becomes warped or curled, the lighter stocks
will be harder to handle. Stocks lighter than 28# (105 g/m
2
) may tend to buckle when the leading edge
picks up the plastic and reaches the platens. Lighter stocks may also require more careful adjustment of
the left hand register sheet guide before the tab cutter.
4. Damaged Sheets.
Sheets with bent corners, bad paper cutting or some other mechanical defect can not only slow down
the production rate of the machine but will also cause a much higher percentage of scrap work. It will
increase your profits to keep stocks in the best possible condition when running on high speed
equipment.
