Abstract:
An in-line supply of a print media that can be entirely separated and individually dispensed in succession comprising:a web of printable media having regularly spaced lines of perforation for separating the web into individually dispensable sheets; the lines of perforation extending transversely with respect to a longitudinal dimension of the web and crossing a longitudinal centerline between two edges of the web; a pattern of ties separated by slits extending along the lines of perforation; the ties occupying a larger portion of the lines of perforation adjacent to the edges of the web than adjacent to the centerline of the web sufficient to relatively increase resistance to tearing along the lines of perforation starting near either of the two edges while relatively decreasing resistance to tearing along the same lines of perforation starting near the centerline of the web; the ties located closest to the centerline of the web being weaker than the ties located closest to the edges of the web along the lines of perforation; the ties located closest to the centerline of the web being narrower than the ties located closest to the edges of the web along the lines of perforation; and the ties located closest to the centerline of the web being formed in pairs evenly straddling the centerline.
