7 Advantages of Double A Paper

Everything is in the fibre, and Double A’s high fibre content makes it the best copy paper for high-speed machines. Here are the reasons why:

1. Good Runnability: Our precision rotary paper cutting machines significantly reduce paper jams in copiers, a quality proven in a tough ‘No Jam’ Runnability test performed under independent laboratory conditions in which 60 pages per minute were copied for 24 continuous hours.
2. Printing Sharpness: Double A’s smooth surface allows for good toner transfer, making copies as sharp as the original.
3. Excellent Smoothness: Double A’s smooth surface gives it a high quality touch and makes for effortless copying, especially in high-speed machines.
4. Bright Appearance: gives high print contrast to the printing process.
5. Enhanced Copier Performance: The sharp blades on our advanced sheet cutting machines result in a lower dust content when printing or copying, prolonging the life of office equipment.
6. Two-Sided Use: The high opacity and excellent formation resulting from Double A’s high quality fibre allows double-sided use.
7. Longer Storage Period for Documents: Acid free paper has longer shelf life, making it perfect for storing documents.

Double A Paper Properties

Double A has 30 million fibres per gram, a unique characteristic that gives Double A its:

• Smooth surface
• High density
• High opacity
• Low ash content
• Good formation

Smoothness 

Smoothness is a measure of the flatness of a paper’s surface and affects how it moves through a printer or copy machine. A smoother surface also has a high-quality feel, is pleasing to the eye, and is particularly well suited to high-speed machines.

Roughness is taken into account when measuring a paper’s smoothness, and the lower the number the better the paper. Paper roughness varies from the top of a sheet to the bottom due to gravitational forces.

Bending 

Bending strength improves a paper’s contact with the copy machine and prevents tearing – the higher the bending strength the better.

Density 

Another property of good paper is density, which refers to its strength, smoothness and opacity –the higher the density, the smoother the surface, but with lower opacity and strength.

Opacity 

Opacity is the measure of how much light is prevented from passing through a sheet. High opacity is usually associated with high filler content and results in a high ash reading under test conditions. Double A’s opacity comes from the unique features of its pulp, giving it high opacity with low ash content.

Ash Content

Ash Content is another key to good paper formation – a property that is associated with filler use, high ash content equals high filler content.

Formation 

Formation is an indicator of how evenly fibers and fillers are distributed in a paper sheet. Paper with poor formation has an uneven surface with thin spots and thick spots.

Light Fastness

Light fastness is a good indicator of a paper’s resistance to fading or change of colour when exposed to sunlight – the longer the line, the longer a paper will retain colour.

No Jam Runnability Test

Double A paper passed a ‘No Jam’ Runnability test for the continuous copying of 100,000 sheets of Double A 80gsm paper though a high-speed copy machine with no jamming. Conducted under independently controlled laboratory conditions at a leading copy machine manufacturer and Double A Research Centre, the tough ‘No Jam’ test confirmed that when we say ‘No Jam’ – we mean it.

Double A differs from other copy paper brands in many ways, but it all starts with our revolutionary model for sourcing short fibre – ‘Paper from Farmed Trees’.
