Use this checklist to help you remember key areas of consideration when
designing and ordering forms and paper stocks.
Environment
________
________
Type Of Form
1 Part
Recycled Paper? Yes _______ No _______ If yes, assure adequate form
strength to prevent tractor holes and perforations from tearing or detaching
during form feeds and page ejects.
Security Form? Yes _______ No _______ If yes, the last page of the form
should have a minimum 50% reflectance and, if possible, the stippled page
faces inward to the form.
Form Weight
Form weight = ________
(Minimum = 15 lb. / 6.8 kg ; Maximum = 100 lb / 45.36 kg)
Form Thickness
Form thickness = ________
(0.025 inches / 0.0635 cm maximum measured at the thickest point of the
form, which includes perforations, compressed staples, glue lines, etc.)
Form Evenness
The evenness of the form = ________
(Not to exceed 0.003 in. / 0.00762 cm)
Tenting due to buildup of perforation thickness must be minimized. A
perforation thickness measured at the major perforation that exceeds 1.25
times the forms thickness measured in the print area will result in an
386
Before they are used, forms are given at least 24 hours of
condensing time in the environment in which they will be
used.
Forms are not stored in environments that result in such
damage as delamination of glue lines, creasing, folding, etc.
