Bible paper
A very lightweight, highly opaque paper, used
primarily for low bulk books, such as Bibles,
dictionaries, etc. Its basis weight generally
ranges from 14 to 30 pounds (25 X 38�).
Bible paper of a basis weight of 20 pounds bulks
up to 1,100 sheets per inch. The paper is
generally produced from bleached chemical wood
pulps, often with the addition of mixes of linen
and/or cotton fiber, along with rag pulps, flax,
and the like. Bible paper is heavily loaded with
titanium oxide or other high grade pigments to
improve opacity. Other important characteristics,
other than printability, include strength, good
folding endurance, and permanence. The term "Bible
paper" is sometimes used with reference to any
book paper having a basis weight of 30 pounds or
less. See also: INDIA
