bond paper
A grade of writing or printing paper, now only
vaguely associated with bonds, legal documents,
etc., i.e., where durability and permanence are
required. Bond paper today is widely used for
forms, invoices, etc., and is a strong, tough
paper that can take stiff, hard ink that dries by
oxidation rather than by penetration. Bonds are
produced from cotton fiber pulp, bleached chemical
wood pulps, or combinations thereof. Although a
bond is a typical writing paper, almost all of it
is printed, e.g., letterheads; therefore it must
have good printability, as well as good writing
and erasing qualities. It must also possess
cleanliness, formation, color, finish, and freedom
from fuzz. It is usually made in basis weights
ranging from 13 to 24 pounds (17 X 22�).
