  • Description: This article discusses papermaking technology and the growth of mineral pigment use in printing and writing papers, from a precipitated calcium carbonate (PCC) producer's perspective. Using the example of uncoated super-calendered (SC) paper, a grade well known to publication gravure printers, the effects of increased filler on paper quality and printability were demonstrated. As competition among grades continues to intensify, uncoated mechanical producers are beginning to optimize specific quality attributes and specialize their products. As brightness levels rise in response to market demands, producers increasingly find themselves running into the limitations of existing processes and technologies, not to mention rising costs. Other than questions surrounding the effects of higher porosity, which are subtle and not easily determined, PCC has proven to be an excellent way to improve rotogravure printability while controlling costs. Thus both the paper-maker and the printer are able to respond to the evolution in global markets.
