Printability - What is printability?

Answer:

A property of materials that refers to their suitability for use as a substrate (a surface that will be printed upon). The printability of a material is usually determined by any number of its properties (and their interactions with each other), including surface properties (such as smoothness, ink receptivity, finish etc) and structural properties (such as thickness or caliper, weight or grammage, moisture content, dimensional stability etc). A material with high printability will produce a high quality print, with sharp, clean print and high print accuracy.
