Definition:  Ability of a paper surface to uniformly and adequately transfer ink from the printing plate or blanket.
Definition source:  EN 9
Context:  The precision with which the image on the printing plate is reproduced on the paper surface is determined by the paper’s roughness and ink receptivity and by the uniformity of these properties as they may be affected by formation and coating. The overall appearance depends not only on the print quality but also on the brightness, gloss and color of the paper, as well as the paper’s opacity and resistance to the show-through of images printed on the other side (see reference 8 for example).
