Not All Pulp Is Created Equa

摘要

The venerable paper industry is steeped in history and tradition, shaped by advances in science, genetic engineering and the Environmental Protection Agency. Paper jargon is frequently obscure. No wonder there are libraries of books explaining the meaning of such terms as CWT, deckle and basis weight. You need to know how the stuff will run through the press and the finishing line, and how it will print-or why the paper you run every day suddenly causes a problem. Answering such questions requires you to have some knowledge of the raw material from which the paper is made. But what aspect of paper do you investigate? You know that up to 50% of the cost of a print job is paper, and that paper impacts press and mailing yield. But what about paper really matters? Press performance' is critical to a profitable operation and paper contributes to press uptime as well as yield.
