TAPPI’s Coating, Printing, and Surface Enhancement (CPSE) Division pursues open exchange of technical information related to materials, equipment, and processes for the manufacture, quality control, and use of coated papers, paperboard, and other substrates. Much of this technical information is presented at sponsored conferences, including TAPPICon and the Advanced Coating Symposium. Based on feedback from these events, TAPPI Journal peer reviews the research from these events that adds significant value to the scientific community. In last year’s November issue, we presented five peer-reviewed manuscripts based on presentations given at TAPPICon 2024.
