The use of such mechanical pulp instead of all chemical wood pulps produces characteristics such as higher bulk, higher opacity for equivalent basis weight, greater softness and higher finish. These properties are valuable from the standpoint of low cost and high-speed printing. These papers are less permanent and somewhat less bright than papers made of all chemical wood pulps. Such printing papers are made in a variety of furnishes ranging from approximately 100% of mechanical wood pulp to as little as 20% and are sized, finished, coloured, loaded, coated and calendered in various ways to make them suitable for many types of printing. 1, record 2, English, - groundwood%20printing%20paper

Remplacer de la pâte chimique par de la pâte mécanique améliore la rétention des charges. À grammage et fini identiques, un papier de pâtes mécaniques possède un bouffant et une opacité supérieurs mais un brillant et une longévité inférieurs à ceux d'un papier d'impression ne contenant que de la pâte chimique. Ils sont généralement chargés, encollés, colorés ou couchés. 2, record 2, French, - papier%20de%20p%C3%A2te%20m%C3%A9canique

... refiner mechanical pulp(RMP)... is produced by the mechanical reduction of wood chips(and sometimes sawdust) in a disc refiner. The process usually involves the use of two refining stages operating in series(i. e. two-stage refining), and produces a longer-fibered pulp than conventional groundwood. 1, record 3, English, - two%2Dstage%20refining

La fabrication industrielle de la pâte mécanique de raffineur (PMR) a commencé en 1960. On produit la PMR par la réduction mécanique de copeaux de bois (ou de sciures) dans un raffineur à disques. Le procédé met normalement en jeu deux étages de raffinage en série (on parle alors de raffinage à deux étages) et la pâte ainsi obtenue contient des fibres plus longues que la pâte mécanique classique. 1, record 3, French, - raffinage%20%C3%A0%20deux%20%C3%A9tages
