Tack - The adhesive quality of inks. Tag - A dense, strong paper stock. Tensile Strength - A paper's ability to withstand pressure. Text - A high quality printing paper. Thermography - A printing process whereby slow drying ink is applied to paper and while the ink is still wet, it is lightly dusted with a resinous powder. The paper then passes through a heat chamber where the powder melts and fuses with the ink to produce a raised surface. Through Drier - A slower drier that dries the ink throughout without forming a hard crust. Ticket Envelope - Envelopes used mostly for theater tickets, with no other particular usage. Tint - A halftone screen that contains all the same sized dots. Titanium Oxide - A bright white pigment (opaque) used for printing on metal and flexible packaging. Toluidine Red - A red pigment with poor bleed resistance. Tooth - The rough surfaced finish of papers such as vellum or antique. Transparent - Inks that do not block out the colored inks that they print over, but instead blend with them to create intermediate colors. Trapping - The process of printing wet ink over printed ink which may be wet or dry. Trim Marks - Marks placed on the sheet to indicate where to cut the page. Twin Wire Machine - Fourdrinier papermaking machines with two wires, instead of a wire and felt side. This assures higher quality when two sides are used for printing. Two-sidedness - The difference in feel and appearance of either side of a sheet of paper due to the papermaking process having a felt and wire side.
