Additives Introduced to Paper • Sizings--Sizings makes the surface of paper less porous to ink. This allows handwriting or printing look sharp and clear. • Fillers--Fillers add color, surface texture, and durability. • Coatings--Coatings help to improve the look and the surface properties of paper. Coatings may even make paper suitable for use in copiers, printers, or for normal handwriting.
• Wood and cotton are the most common ingredients that make up many of today's paper. • Many times, paper is treated with chemical additives that affect its color, opacity, strength, durability, and brightness
Radiocarbon Dating The authenticity of the mysterious Vinland Map was debated for decades. In 2002, a scrap of map parchment was analyzed by a destructive, organic method (radiocarbon dating). The evidence proves that this map of the New World was made in 1434 AD (+/-11), a full 60 years before Columbus got there.

Color • Paper chromography is used to determine any special characteristics in the coloring of the paper
Thickness
Texture • Textured paper gives the impression that it is important or special. • It must be special ordered so it can be traced easily
Brightness • The brightness of a piece of paper is typically expressed on a scale of 1 to 100 with 100 being the brightest. • The multipurpose bond paper used in copy machines and desktop printers generally has a paper brightness in the 80 s. • Photo papers are normally in the mid to high 90 s. However, manufacturers often use terms such as Bright White or Ultra. Bright instead of numbers.
Finishes • Photos appear brighter and colors clearer on inkjet photo papers with higher paper brightness ratings. –gloss, metallic, satin • With matte finish papers, a higher paper brightness can make a greater difference than it does among gloss finish papers of varying paper brightness
Shades of White • Individually white paper appears quite white. But placed side-by-side, white papers show a range of colors from very bright cool white to a softer, warmer pale ivory white. • Technically, the more blue light reflecting off the surface, the brighter and whiter the paper appears. For ordinary usage, the best measure of paper brightness is your eye and the appearance of your image on the paper
Opacity • In papermaking, opacity is a property of paper that describes the amount of light which is transmitted through it. Paper that has a high degree of opacity does not let much light pass through it, while paper that has a low degree of opacity is more translucent, or allows much light to pass through it.
Watermarks • A watermark is a recognizable image or pattern in paper that appears as various shades of lightness/darkness when viewed by transmitted light (or when viewed by reflected light, atop a dark background), caused by thickness or density variations in the paper
Watermarks • Watermarks have been used on postage stamps, currency, and other government documents to discourage counterfeiting. • There are two main ways of producing watermarks in paper; the dandy roll process, and the more complex cylinder mould process.
Clues • The watermark tells the criminal scientist the manufacturer, the date of manufacture, and, many times, for whom the paper was manufactured. • Any attempts to forge a watermark can easily be detected. This is due to the fact that real watermarks have fewer fibers than the rest of the paper. Forged watermarks, on the other hand, are really added-on images. • Therefore, their underlying fiber density will be consistent with that of the rest of the document.
