What’s It Mean?
///////////////////////////////
Paper Opacity: property which minimized to "show through" of printing from the book side of the next sheet.
Uncoated: Paper with no surface treatment; the printing surface is the stock itself.
Absorbent Paper (see Paper): Covering a variety of papers made for absorbing water and inks (degrees vary). Examples: duplicating, filter, blotting and toweling papers.

A Little About Archival Quality
Internal Factors
-
Binding
The various binding processes that are employed take the same care to negate acidity as the care of paper selection noted above.
External Factors - Production

Gregath Printing Facility
Our printing plant is in a rural area with low air pollution. While we are not a "white glove" facility, our employees are kept to a "clean hands" policy, which minimizes the amount of oils on the skin (guarding against acid transfer), as well as taking precautions to further lower particulates and chemicals in the air, in-house. Our physical plant is kept at an optimum temperature with a low relative humidity (down to 45%).

///////////////////////////////
Marketing advice
///////////////////////////////
When printing new business/calling cards, consider adding author to your title and/or including your book's homepage address (URL).
///////////////////////////////
Genealogy ideas
///////////////////////////////
Don't forget as fuel prices rise and we turn to our computers more and more, to document. Sometimes there is no substitute for a research trip. Sometimes volunteers, such as the network at http://www.usgenweb.org can help.

Computer aid!?!
Software: Anti-Virus
///////////////////////////////
Don't neglect your anti-virus program. When prompted to download, don't put it off, but make it a priority to get it complete before doing a lot of work online (or installing new software). Also, do full disk scans periodically. This is in case a new virus slipped paste before the anti-virus could identify it. The sweep will pick it up, hopefully before it does too much damage.

Note: All references to "select"
and "click" are using the left mouse button unless otherwise noted.

Have a question or tip?
E-mail us. We may be
stumped, but either way you'll get a personal reply.
