Paper is one of the major components of printing in any printing process and it accounts roughly 60-70 per cent of the final printed product and this indicates the role and importance of paper in the print industry. Uncoated papers are the papers which are selected for printing which are considered to be the medium in quality and moreover the consumption of these papers are quite high than the coated papers. Solid ink density essentially controls the visual aspects of the printed sheets and hence is considered as the major print quality factor.
