When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

manufacture of continuous/"endless" paper
En 1797 se inventa en Francia, por Nicolas-Louis Robert en colaboración con Saint-Léger Didot, la máquina continua para la fabricación del papel continuo o de bobinas que proporcionó una gran diversidad de tamaños, por lo que fue imposible mantener las antiguas denominaciones de los formatos basadas en el papel de tina.

: I think "continuous paper" is the best option here.

@Liz Askew:
Thanks for your comment. What follows suggests that, in this context, the use of the word "continuous" implies (necessarily) that the "stationary" involved is, indeed, paper (and not envelopes).
Continuous stationery (UK) or Continuous form paper (USA) is paper which is designed for use with dot-matrix printers and line printers. Other names for continuous stationery include fan-fold paper, sprocket feed paper, burst paper, tractor-feed paper, and pin feed paper. It can be woodfree uncoated paper (single ply) or carbonless copy paper (multi ply).
