Dot matrix paper is as dangerous as it is outdated. In a study entitled Competition between slicing and buckling, which ...

The dangerous paper was between 50 and 100 micrometers thick, with the sharpest being 65 micrometers. This is the same thickness that is often used in well-known scientific journals like Nature ...

Paper neither too thick nor thin, with a thickness of 65 micrometres or 65 millionths of a metre, was the most lethal – namely newspaper and dot matrix paper.

Thin paper with a thickness of about 30 microns, or 0.03 mm, doesn’t cut so well because it buckles – a mechanical instability that happens when a slender object like paper is compressed. Once this ...

The most hazardous paper is around 65 micrometres thick, especially when it slices into the faux human skin at around 15 degrees. But this type of paper is common for dot matrix printers, used by ...
