New Standards Proposal: Specular Gloss at 20º -- Parallel Beam Method

A proposal has been made for a new Standard: "Specular Gloss at 20º -- Parallel Beam Method."

This method is for the measurement of the specular gloss of high-gloss papers at 20° (70° from the plane of the paper). It is suitable for high-gloss coated, cast-coated, lacquered, highly varnished or waxed papers, and high-gloss ink films.

A Standard-Specific Interest Group (SSIG) must be formed for this proposal. Any individuals who are interested in this Standard may join the SSIG to receive ballots when this method is ready for vote. If you would like to join the SSIG for this project, please notify the Standards Department at standards@tappi.org no later than July 15, 2015.
