Abitibi Consolidated, Bowater Incorporated and North Pacific Paper Corporation (NORPAC) are three primary North American producers of groundwood trade book grades, and there are differences in quality—i.e., opacity, shade and formation—between their sheets.
Using groundwoods can net you cost savings, but you should also be aware of some negative attributes. Groundwoods do not meet American National Standards Institute (ANSI) standards for permanency, and they contain lignin. In other words, groundwood papers will yellow and deteriorate.
