compressibility
The decrease in caliper of a sheet of paper,
expressed as a percentage, resulting from an
arbitrary specified increase in load. The
conditions under which the determinations are made
must be fully specified. Compressibility of paper
is of considerable importance in both printing and
bookbinding. See also: BUNDLING (1) . (17 )
