Woodfree Paper
Woodfree paper, also known as uncoated woodfree (UWF) paper or fine paper, is produced using chemical pulp with minimal lignin content. Despite the name, it does not mean the paper is made without wood, but rather that it is free from mechanical wood pulp and the impurities that come with it. This results in stronger, smoother, brighter, and long-lasting paper, ideal for high-quality printing and writing applications.
