Question

Figure out the incorrect pair in context to the types of papers.

• A. Bond Paper -- Light weight sized paper
• B. Board -- Any paper that is heavier than 220 gsm
• C. Buckling -- US term for paper which has developed a flat and smooth surface
• D. Carbon tissue -- A paper used in the Photogravure process

Hint:

Remember these important paper terms: \[ \boxed{ \begin{aligned} \text{Bond Paper} &\rightarrow \text{Writing and Printing Paper}, \text{Board} &\rightarrow \text{Paper above }220~\text{gsm}, \text{Carbon Tissue} &\rightarrow \text{Photogravure Process}, \text{Buckling} &\rightarrow \text{Wrinkling or Wavy Deformation of Paper}. \end{aligned} } \] Mnemonic: “Buckling = Bending, not Smoothness.”

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Concept: Paper terminology is based on the properties, weight, and specific uses of paper in printing, drawing, and graphic arts.
• Bond Paper is a lightweight, high-quality writing and printing paper.
• Board generally refers to paper or paperboard having a grammage above 220 gsm.
• Carbon Tissue is a sensitized paper used in the photogravure printing process.
• Buckling is not a type of paper. It is a defect in which paper develops waves, wrinkles, or distortions due to moisture, tension, or improper handling. It does not mean a flat and smooth surface.

Step 1: Identify the incorrect pair. The statement \[ \boxed{\text{Buckling} \rightarrow \text{US term for paper which has developed a flat and smooth surface}} \] is incorrect because buckling refers to the formation of waves or wrinkles, not a flat surface.

Step 2: Examine the given options.
• Bond Paper -- Light weight sized paper -- Correct.
• Board -- Any paper that is heavier than 220 gsm -- Correct.
• Buckling -- US term for paper which has developed a flat and smooth surface -- Incorrect.
• Carbon tissue -- A paper used in the Photogravure process -- Correct. Hence, \[ \boxed{\text{(C) Buckling -- US term for paper which has developed a flat and smooth surface}} \]
