Pack 25-50 pamphlets in one direction and then 25-50 in the opposite direction. ITEM 3 Marginally Punched Continuous Roll to Roll Letter/BRC (Code: DENWF-LTR-1009): Quantity: 42,062 (includes 50 QARC & 2 inspection fan-folded samples). Trim Size: 18 x 17 (including marginal pinholes) - 2 images up. Number of pages: One sheet printing front and back, head to head.

Inks must be laser compatible inks. Form Set-Up/Margins/Perforation/Scoring: Individual letters/BRCs bleed 4 sides. Perforations around BRCs should be compatible for continuous roll laser printing there should be no breakage during lasering, folding, and inserting. For the bleed in the center, butt the two forms up to each other. Pin-feed area must be 1/2 on left and right sides of roll with holes Ό from edge and spaced ½ apart. Extend bleeds 1/8 into trimmed out areas both in the pin-feed and center gutter areas. Contractor must make sure that ink (1/8 bleed) does not interfere with pinholes (hanging chad will interfere with continuous laser operation). Apply a partial perforation (8.5 in length) (slit or slot without ink) horizontally along the 18" dimension 11.25" from the top edge to each 2-up form. Apply a partial score (5.75 in length) vertically along the 17" dimension 4.25" from the left/right edge starting at the horizontal perforation and extending down. Detached business reply cards measure 8.5 x 5.75. Follow disk for all scores and perforations. Indicate on proofs. Do not perforate between forms or in the pin-feed area. Rolls should unwind with laser side on top, head first off the roll. Re-moistenable Glue Strip: Contractor must apply a heat resistant, laser compatible,.25 x 5-3/4 re-moistenable glue strip along the bottom right edge of each 2-up BRC. Do not extend glue strip in ½ pin-feed area. Letters will be laser imaged; therefore, the glue that is applied must be non-heat activated so that it does not come off during lasering. The contractor must use a permanent glue strip that will keep the mailed pieces closed during mailing. Follow the laser prints for position of glue strip. Roll to Roll Specifications forms: 1.3 diameter cores, 50 in diameter. 2.Proper sheet length is required on all forms. Long or short sheet length caused forms to jump off the tractor teeth in the OCE 8750 continuous roll laser Printer. 3.All breaks are required to be clearly identified on each roll. We require flags to mark the start of the bad section and at the end of the bad section. We require a flag at the core area to designate end of good product. 4.All rolls are required to be marked with quantity on sides of rolls along with a roll number. Do not use crayon marker to mark the rolls. The wax from the crayon melts in the printer causing voids to print in the imaged areas. 5.All rolls are required to be received with a chuck in the core. This prevents the roll core from being crushed. 6.There should not be excessive flagging of good and bad sections. One in five rolls with flags (not including the flag at the core) is within acceptable industry standards. Rolls should have no stepping and/or coning. Laser Compatibility Specifications: As stated above under Stock, the paper must be laser compatible from the manufacturer and the contractor must follow the proper standard industry guidelines for pre-printing to ensure the final printed materials are laser compatible. The paper must be long-grain, the inks used must be laser compatible wax free inks; the printed forms must go through the proper drying process and the packaging process must be done properly to ensure laser compatibility (do not wrap in reams and do not shrink film wrap). The perforation must be done properly to ensure there is no breakage during lasering, folding, and inserting. Proofs: 2 sets of color proofs and 2 sets of content proofs. Proofs must show pinhole, gluing areas, & perforation locations.
