REGISTRATION
ˌre-jə-ˈstrā-shən, n
The precise alignment of all layers of ink
printed on a given job. Ideally, each suc-
cessive application of ink is aligned with the
previous application; different colors overlap
or meet exactly as they were intended. In
practice, however, there can be some varia-
tion, called misregistration, resulting from the
paper stretching, for example, or by a prob-
lem with the press. Many issues related to
misregistration can be mitigated by trapping
or overprinting.

RECTO/VERSO
ˈrek-(ˌ)tō/ˈvər-(ˌ)sō, n
A term used when referring to the right- and
left-hand pages of a set of facing pages. The
right-hand page is referred to as the recto;
the left-hand page is referred to as the verso.
Strictly speaking, however, the terms refer to
opposite sides of the same page, recto being
the front and verso being the back.

REAM
ˈrēm, n
A ream of paper is made up of 500 sheets of
a given paper grade at its basic size. Although
there are many different standard sheet
sizes, the basic size is determined solely by
the grade of paper. Bond, ledger, and writing
stock, for example, have a basic size of 17 ×
22 inches; cover stock, on the other hand, has
a basic size of 20 × 26 inches. Basis weight
or ream weight, then, refers to the weight
of one ream of paper. In the United States,
basis weight is specifi ed in pounds, typically
using the abbreviation #. Because the basis
weight is a function of the paper’s basic size,
two grades of paper having the same basis
weight may feel quite different in terms of their
individual thickness and weight. A 28# bond,
for example, is about the same thickness as
a 70# text stock. The thickness of a sheet of
paper, or stock, is its caliper. Paper with lower
caliper values tend to have lower weight than
higher caliper papers. The term bulk is used to
quantify a paper’s caliper relative to its weight.
