Understanding Tabs by EPC

Tabs 101

Collating Definitions

Collating is the most important part of blank tab ordering. Different high-speed copiers require different collating sequences. It is important to know how your machine accepts tabs so that they are ordered in the
proper sequence.

A. Uncollated Tabs:
One case of uncollated tabs will contain 5 small cartons. One carton of Position 1, one carton of Position 2, one carton of Position 3, one carton of Position 4 and one carton of Position 5.

B. Single Position Tabs:
Instead of one case containing each position, you will have a full case containing only one position. For example: One case of Position 1 will have 5 cartons all containing position 1.

___________________________________

Regular Collated (or Single Straight):

Regular Collated tabs are ordered in the following sequence:
Position 1, Position 2, Position 3, Position 4, Position 5

___________________________________

Single Reverse Collated:

Single Reverse Collated tabs are ordered in the following sequence:
Position 5, Position 4, Position 3, Position 2, Position 1

*This is alson known as Docutech Collated to Xerox users

__________________________________

Double Reverse Collated:

Double Reverse Collated tabs are ordered in the following sequence:

Position 5, Postion 5, Position 4, Positon 4, Position 3, Position 3, Position 2, Position 2, Postion 1, Position 1

*This is also know as 5090 or 5390 collated to Xerox Users

The HP Indigo Printing Process & FAQs

To understand the principles of HP Indigo printing is to appreciate why the process is so convenient and the printed image is of such high quality.

The HP printing engine performs its operations in the following order:

1. Electrostatic charging of the electrophotographic Photo Imaging Plate (PIP) which is mounted on the imaging cylinder

2. Exposure of the PIP by a canned array of laser iodes. These lasers are controlled by the raster image processor, which converts instructions from a digital file into 'on/off' instructions for the lasers.

3. Image development performed by the Binary Ink Developer (BID) units

4. Transfer of the inked image to the blanket cylinder

5. Removal of any residual ink and electrical charge from the PIP

6. Heating of the inked image carried by the blanket

7. Transfer of the heated inked image to the substrate held by the impression cylinder

*the above operations are repeated for every color separation in the image.

HP ElectroInk
HP ElectroInk, as used on all HP Indigo digital presses, is a liquid ink containing electrically charged ink particles, available in a wide range of colors. HP ElectroInk enables digital printing by controlling the location of print partciles electrically, as with other digital printing technologies, such as dry toner xerography. Only one formulation of HP ElectroInk is needed to print on any substrate the press can handle. This allows rapid switching between substrates without having to worry about changing ink.

Advantage over dry toner
Unlike dry toner xerography, HP ElectroInk uses particle sizes as small as one to two microns. The particle size used in dry toner xerography is limited, as particles that are too small can become airborne and uncontrollable. The higher printing speed, the larger the particles need to be. The advantage of small particle size in a liquid carrier is that it enables higher resolution, uniform gloss, sharp image edges and very thing image layers. The thin image layer closely follows the surface of the paper, resulting in a highly uniform finish, complementing that of the paper.
So, HP ElectroInk produces results to match those possible with conventional offset printing. Dry toner depends heavily on the electrostatic properties of paper and small changes in relative humidity in the environment can cause noticeable variables in print quality. The high fusing temperature required for xerography limits the choice of coated paper or plastic film that can be printed.


*To find out what substrates are compatible with the HP indigo visit
(www.hp.com/go/myhpindigoweb)

Here is how to use it:

*Access the website & log in
1. Select "print media"
2. Select the Media Locator
3. Specify your media requirements accordint to:
a. The HP Indigo digital press you use
b. The type of media on which you intend to print
c. Basis weight
d. Your location

Additional information about approved media, testing and certification of HP Indigo media can be found on RIT's website: www.printlab.rit.edu

SpectraSan 24 - From Nilodor & Economy Paper Company


The High Touch Surface Disinfectant, Fungicide & Virucide with 24 Hour Protection

  • Health Care
  • Schools
  • Food Service
  • Athletic Facilities
  • Hospitality
  • Transportation
What is SpectraSan 24?
SpectraSan 24 is an EPA Registered, broad spectrum antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral disinfectant that can provide up to 24-hour residual effectiveness. It kills most dangerous pathogens; influenza A (H1N1), MRSA, HIV and a host of other dangerous pathogens and household germs-many within 30 seconds.

How Does it Work?
SpectraSan 24 kills germs 20 times faster than traditions disinfectants. It kills many germs in just 30 seconds, H1N1 in 3 minutes and "Super Bugs" like MRSA, CA-MRSA, PVL-MRSA, and VRE in just 2 minutes. Plus, when other disinfectants dry on the surface, they stop working. In contrast, SpectraSan 24 has residual efficacy that not only provides protection, but continues to kill bacteria for 24 hours.

Where Should I Use SpectraSan 24?
A high touch surface is best for this product. A high tough surface is basically any surface that is in frequent human contact through normal use: door handles, elevator buttons, telephones, drinking fountains, keyboards, counters, etc.

How Do I Apply/Use SpectraSan 24?
SpectraSan 24 is easy to apply with no rinsing necessary. Simply spray or lightly mist the high touch surface with SpectraSan 24 and let air dry. If too much product is applied a treated surface may be come tacky or sticky. To remedy this situation, once the SpectraSan has been applied, simply wipe the effected surfaces with a microfiber cloth.
When applying SpectraSan 24 to electronics or surfaces that can be sensitive to moisture, simply wet a micro fiber cloth with the solution and wipe objects or sufaces to be treated. Allow to air dry. For larger areas, SpectraSan 24 can be fogged for easier application.

The Active Ingredient in SpectraSan 24 is Silver Dihydrogen Citrate, whereas most leading disinfectant sprays use Ethanol/Ammonium Chloride for their active ingredient.

Silver Dihydrogen Citrate (SDC) kills microorganisms by two modes of action:

1) The silver ion deactivies structural and metabolic membrane proteins leading to the microbial death.
2) The microbes view SDC as a food source, allowing the silver ion to enter the microbe. Once inside the organism, the silver ion denatures the DNA, which halts the microbe's ability to replicate and leads to its death.
*This dual action makes SDC highly and quickly effective against broad spectrum of microbes. This product is colorless, odorless and non-staining.

Call Economy Paper Company @ 585-482-5340 to order samples or request a quote. This product is truly a breakthrough in microbial control and you won't want to miss out!
