Having been a classical method for over 20 years, along with limited use of the equipment, the SSIG for T 819 has approved this method for withdrawal.

The the last issue of the STAR newsletter, T 818 was mistakenly listed as being withdrawn. The guidelines require that a vote return percentage exceed 50%, and upon closer examination of the ballot for T 818, the percentage of votes received was exactly 50%. This has led to a reballot of the method. I apologize for the confusion and thank you for your understanding.

If you have use of these methods, any questions, or concerns, please contact standards@tappi.org for more information.
