imitation art paper
A printing paper containing a high percentage of
china clay, kaolin, etc., in the paper furnish. It
has a very high water finish, which provides the
required surface opacity, and absorbency suitable
for the printing of some halftones. Imitation art
paper differs from ART
PAPER (1) in that the clay is mixed with the
fibers, and is thus an entirely on-machine
operation. Coated art paper, which is the superior
product, may be determined by the black mark which
results from rubbing it with a silver coin.
Imitation art paper is not usually suitable for
halftone printing where the screen is finer than
]33 lines. (17 , 58 )
