    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whiteness_(colorimetry)

    In colorimetry, whiteness is the degree to which a surface is white. An example of its use might be to quantitatively compare two pieces of paper which appear white viewed individually, but not when juxtaposed. The International Commission on Illumination describes it in the following terms:

  3. Paper chemicals - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paper_chemicals

    Paper Coating 1) The paper or board 2) The first layer of coating to even out the surface 3) A second layer for an even smoother and whiter surface. Pigments that absorb in the yellow and red part of the visible spectrum can be added. As the dye absorbs light, the brightness of the paper will decrease, unlike the effect of an optical ...

  4. Bleaching of wood pulp - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bleaching_of_wood_pulp

    This is because contemporary white paper incorporates fluorescent whitening agents (FWA). Because the ISO standard only measures a narrow range of blue light, it is not directly comparable to human vision of whiteness or brightness. [5] Newsprint ranges from 55 to 75 ISO brightness. [6] Writing and printer paper would typically be as bright as ...

    In other words, the bleed is the area to be trimmed off. The bleed is the part on the side of a document that gives the printer a small amount of space to account for natural movement of the paper during guillotining, [1] and design inconsistencies. Artwork and background colors often extend into the bleed area.

  9. Kappa number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kappa_number

    The Kappa number estimates the amount of chemicals required during bleaching of wood pulp to obtain a pulp with a given degree of whiteness. Since the amount of bleach needed is related to the lignin content of the pulp, the Kappa number can be used to monitor the effectiveness of the lignin-extraction phase of the pulping process.
