THE MERCHANDISE COVERED BY THIS INVESTIGATION INCLUDES CERTAIN COATED PAPER AND PAPERBOARD IN SHEETS SUITABLE FOR HIGH QUALITY PRINT GRAPHICS USING SHEET-FED PRESSES; COATED ON ONE OR BOTH SIDES WITH KAOLIN (CHINA OR OTHER CLAY), CALCIUM CARBONATE, TITANIUM DIOXIDE, AND/OR OTHER INORGANIC SUBSTANCES; WITH OR WITHOUT A BINDER; HAVING A GE BRIGHTNESS LEVEL OF 80 OR HIGHER; WEIGHING NOT MORE THAN 340 GRAMS PER SQUARE METER; WHETHER GLOSS GRADE, SATIN GRADE, MATTE GRADE, DULL GRADE, OR ANY OTHER GRADE OF FINISH; WHETHER OR NOT SURFACE-COLORED, SURFACE-DECORATED, PRINTED (EXCEPT AS DESCRIBED BELOW), EMBOSSED, OR PERFORATED; AND IRRESPECTIVE OF DIMENSIONS (“CERTAIN COATED PAPER”). NOTE: PAPERBOARD REFERS TO CERTAIN COATED PAPER THAT IS HEAVIER, THICKER AND MORE RIGID THAN COATED PAPER WHICH OTHERWISE MEETS THE PRODUCT DESCRIPTION. IN THE CONTEXT OF CERTAIN COATED PAPER, PAPERBOARD TYPICALLY IS REFERRED TO AS COVER, TO DISTINQUISH IT FROM TEXT. NOTE: ONE OF THE KEY MEASUREMENTS OF ANY GRADE OF PAPER IS BRIGHTNESS. GENERALLY SPEAKING, THE BRIGHTER THE PAPER THE BETTER THE BETTER THE CONTRAST BETWEEN THE PAPER AND THE INK. BRIGHTNESS IS MEASURED USING A GE REFLECTANCE SCALE, WHICH MEASURES THE REFLECTION OF LIGHT OFF OF A GRADE OF PAPER. ONE IS THE LOWEST REFLECTION, OR WHAT WOULD BE GIVEN TO A TOTALLY BLACK GRADE, AND 100 IS THE BRIGHTEST MEASURED GRADE. CERTAIN COATED PAPER INCLUDES (A) COATED FREE SHEET PAPER AND PAPERBOARD THAT MEETS THIS SCOPE DEFINITION; (B) COATED GROUNDWOOD PAPER AND PAPERBOARD PRODUCED FROM BLEACHED CHEMI-THERMO-MECHANICAL PULP (“BCTMP”) THAT MEETS THIS SCOPE DEFINITION; AND (C) ANY OTHER COATED PAPER AND PAPERBOARD THAT MEETS THIS SCOPE DEFINITION.
