ACB Paper ABC There are about 3,000 different sorts of paper. This Pa- per ABC describes the most important types of paper and gives an overview of the raw materials and the production techniques used in making them.

rea-related weight/ weight (Flächenbezogene Masse/Flächenge- wicht) Area-related weight is the term used to denote paper, and weight. It is measured by grams per square meter. Paper products of up to 200 gramsAa per square meter (g/m2) are regarded as paper, those between 200 and 600 grams as cardboard and those above as paperboard.

Art paper (Kunstdruckpapier) High quality and relatively heavy paper that is coated on both sides and has a smooth surface. High-resolu- tion single or multi-coloured images require paper that is smooth and evenly absorbs the ink. For this reason the irregular fibre structure of the base paper → Natural paper (Naturpapier) is covered with a coating → (Gestrichenes Papier).

Auto panel board (Karosseriepappe) Voluminous, bituminous board made of recovered paper. It is used as interior lining and padding material for motor vehicles, as acoustic insulation, for covering and as fibreboard for various building uses.

anknote paper (Banknotenpapier) Long-lasting, durable and ageresistant paper, suitable for multicoloured printing. Equipped with and other anti-counterfeiting agents, such as metal threads. In Germany, paper is predominantly manufactured from cottonBb fibre (a bi-product of cotton processing, 2 – 4 mm in length) and linen rag.

Adding rag to the makes the best enables copying without the use of a carbon copy quality paper. paper sheet in between the original and the copy.
