Abstract / scope
ISO 8254-3:2016 specifies a method for measuring the specular gloss of paper and board at an angle of 20° to the normal to the paper surface. It is applicable chiefly to highly glossy surfaces, such as cast-coated, lacquered, highly varnished or waxed papers and high-gloss ink films.
NOTE This part of ISO 8254 has been developed from TAPPI T653[2], ISO 2813[1] and from ISO 8254‑1.
