Paper and board
Previous Top Next

Paper and board is where we store all the different records for paper, board and any other sheet or continuous strata to be printed on.

Note that papers are stored as 'headers' (containing name, unit of substance, default supplier, etc.) each containing individual detail lines (each containing weight, size, price etc).  These detail lines are arranged into sheets, continuous (for non U.S.), and web paper.

You can change existing materials, add new ones and delete old very simply.  You can change the value of any paper or range of papers by a percentage, or even pro-rata accurately to a ton rate. You can set up a new paper by simply copying another and adjusting it.

If your supplier has arranged it with Printpak, a simple way to enter a range of papers is to ask them for a CSV file catalogue, containing their current prices.
