Abstract

Recycled paper has been commercially introduced to the market for more than 30 years, and it has been more than 20 years since the first brand of recycled paper was introduced for use in high speed copiers. It has achieved a growing importance in the past few years, related to a new wave of public perception of recycled paper as being more environmentally friendly. However, there are usually some users-perceived setbacks in the quality of recycled paper. These are often related to fiber qualities, such as runnability, longevity of the printer, opacity (affecting strikethrough or see through on double-sided printing), mechanical properties and edge quality.This paper discussed the impact of various paper properties to attributes of print qualities. An improvement in print quality has the potential to drive more usage of recycled paper.
