Here's the help you need to select the proper paper for your printing needs.

It is divided into four sections: the first showing how paper surfaces influence process color (200 line screen). The screen section is composed of screens of process color, across the spectrum, which simulate special colors.

After a pair of photomicrographs showing coated and uncoated papers, there is a demonstration of single color halftone reproduction (300 line screen) and black and gray duotones. The fourth section depicts black solids and different weights of type and line, both regular and reverse.

Notice that the uncoated grade is suitable for type and line illustrations as well as non-critical color work, but a more refined surface is needed to get accurate reproduction of detail and to also give you brighter whites and deep, rich solids. This is true not only on the glossy coated sheets, but also on the dull coated surfaces.

Warren Paper Company still manufactures a complete line of printing papers that provide the flexibility to select the appropriate grade for all printing requirements. A listing of the 1983 grades can be found on the inside back cover. C

S.D. Warren Company in Westbrook is Maine's oldest paper mill, first opened in 1854. Warren was known for having the highest quality publication papers in the world, particularly coated publication paper used in glossy company annual reports and magazines. Innovation was key to Warren's long term success, thanks to its "Technology Center" which performed product and process research and developments. The mill always produced a great number of specialty products. Warren was famous for one the nation's longest and most successful paternalistic traditions, which kept the company union-free until 1967. Workers and managers alike recall generous employment terms, and a company based social safety net that took care of injured, sick, and financially troubled employees, often thanks to direct appeals by employees to the mill manager. The company was purchased by Scott Paper Company in 1967, and was sold again to South African Pulp and Paper Industries (SAPPI) in 1995.

The mill is a large sprawling industrial complex spanning the Presumpscot River just north of Cumberland Street in central eastern Westbrook. A paper mill was established on this site in the 1730s, when it was a rural and fairly unpopulated area. In 1854, that small paper mill, in the soon-to-be established town of Westbrook, was purchased for $28,000 by Samuel D. Warren, known as S. D. Warren, an uncle of George W. Hammond, who also worked there. The mill was named Grant, Warren and Company. In that year, the mill was only running two paper machines and had a production output of about 3,000 pounds of paper per day. Nine years later in 1863, an additional machine was added to the mill, and the production increased to 11,000 pounds per day.

In 1854, paper was made by beating down rags and using the pulp from the rags. In 1867, after the mill changed its name to S. D. Warren Paper Mill Company, Warren decided to add wood fibers with rags fibers for paper. It was the first mill in the United States to do so. The mill became the largest in the world. By 1880, the mill produced 35,000 pounds of paper per day.

Warren died in 1888 and was succeeded by his son, also Samuel D. Warren II, who managed the business until his death in 1910. The mill continued to grow through the 20th century, employing close to 3,000 Westbrook residents. Scott Paper Company diversified operations through purchase of S. D. Warren in 1967. Scott Paper company operated the S.D. Warren Company as a wholly owned subsidiary until 1994, when it sold this leading producer of light-weight and heavy-weight coated papers. The mill now only employs about 300 people, but continues to be a presence in the city of Westbrook.
