Abstract
The paper examines the effect of pulp fibers and mineral fillers on th e optical and mechanical characteristics of printing papers. An experi ment for raw material furnish and handsheet preparation investigated b eating degree, hardwood pulp, and the amount and type of calcium carbo nate on the light scattering coefficient and tensile index of paper. L imiting the paper quality parameters combined with the evaluation of t he fiver and filler interaction allowed optimization of the hardwood p ulp beating and the calcium carbonate.
