The methods for determining paper quality, depending on whether it is the paper maker, converter, or printer varies greatly. The paper maker wants web strength, the ability to increase line speed, and make the same product from a variety of low cost sources on a continuous process. The converter wants to use the same stock to produce the greatest variety of paper surfaces with the minimum number of steps and difficulty. And finally, the printer wants to provide his customer with the best looking finished product at the lowest price and minimum rejects.
