Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. Is bible paper only for printing Bibles?
No, while its name comes from its traditional use, bible paper is versatile. Its unique properties make it an excellent choice for any application where thinness, strength, and high-quality printing are important, such as pharmaceutical leaflets and extensive reference books.
2. How thin is bible paper typically?
Bible paper is exceptionally thin, often with a basis weight ranging from 20 to 40 gsm (grams per square meter). For comparison, standard copy paper is usually around 80 gsm.
3. Is the text hard to read because the paper is so thin?
Not at all. High-quality bible paper is manufactured with high opacity, meaning it minimizes "show-through" (the visibility of print from the reverse side). This, combined with sharp printing, ensures excellent readability and contrast.
4. Is this paper durable enough for frequent use?
Yes, durability is a key feature. It is specifically designed to withstand frequent page-turning and handling without tearing, making it more robust than standard paper of a similar thickness.
5. Can bible paper be used for printing color images?
Yes, it can produce good quality color printing. However, for projects requiring the highest fidelity photographic reproduction on thick, heavy stock, a premium coated paper might be more suitable. Bible paper excels in printing clear, legible text and line art with minimal bulk.
