papeterie
A class of papers normally cut to size, boxed, and
used for writing. Papeteries are produced from
cotton fiber or chemical wood pulps, or mixtures
thereof, and are given many special treatments,
such as embossing, mottling, watermarking, aniline
printing, and the like, to obtain desired colors
and appearance. The majority of them have low
strength, high bulk, and good folding qualities.
They normally carry a considerable percentage of
filler, in order to give them the required finish
and opacity, and are sized to give satisfactory
pen-and-ink writing qualities. Basis weights
normally range from 16 to 32 pounds (17 X
22�). (17 )
