Abstract
High-grade printer paper is that which is specialized for printing, but could also be classified as a "Fancy Paper" that is clearly distinct from art paper. In addition to reproducing images faithfully, it is also designed to add value by preserving the natural feeling and individuality of paper. This makes it important to consider the quality and texture of the surface, which includes both the visible roughness and the microscopic tactile feel. Interestingly, different textures can create very unique printing effects, a phenomenon which we have explored both mathematically and physically for many years. In this article, we describe high-grade printer papers in terms of their unique features and notable differences from art paper, and also provide examples of specific product developments.
