Translucent Inkjet Bond Paper is a semi-translucent uncoated bond paper for everyday working drawings. It is the practical choice for architects, engineers, designers, and reprographers who need a faster and more economical alternative to vellum without giving up the translucency that makes overlays and light-table work possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith 71% opacity, a smooth matte finish, and a 2.9 mil caliper, the paper produces sharp, dense black line work on aqueous inkjet printers. The surface accepts pen and pencil notations, so the same sheet moves from printer to design-review markup without changing media. Acid free, Elemental Chlorine Free (ECF), and recyclable, it also meets ANSI Type I OCR dirt guidelines and ANSI Type III fluorescence guidelines. Freedom Paper has supplied working drawing media to AEC, engineering, and reprographic firms since 2002.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBond weight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e18 lb\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBasis weight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e41 gsm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCaliper\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.9 mil\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eOpacity\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e71%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBrightness\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e88\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSmoothness\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e85\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFinish\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSmooth matte\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eStructure\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUncoated\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003epH\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAcid Free, ECF\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCompatible inks\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAqueous Dye, Aqueous Pigment\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eRoll core\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2 inch\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eRoll widths\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e22, 24, 30, 34, 36, 42 in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eRoll lengths\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e150 ft, 300 ft\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCut sheet sizes\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e18 x 24 in, 22 x 34 in, 24 x 36 in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eStandards\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eANSI Type I OCR, ANSI Type III fluorescence\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eShelf life\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2 years from ship date\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eStorage\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e50 to 85°F, 30 to 65% relative humidity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eArchival\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAcid free but not rated as archival.
