right side
The so-called correct side of a sheet of paper. It
is the wire (mold) side in a handmade paper, and
the upper (felt) side of a machine-made paper. In
both, it is the side from which the WATERMARK is read
correctly. Printers often have to know which side
of the paper is the "right side" because of
differences in surface, as well as the undesirable
effect of using sheets laid one way with those
laid another way in the same publication. Flat
papers are usually packed with the right side
uppermost, while, if folded, the right side is
outermost. In blue and azure papers, the right
side is usually darker in color than the reverse
side.
