IndustryEye: Catalogers’ Updates, People on the Move & Letter to the Editor

I believe your article was not great advice.

The Author’s Response
I appreciate and respect the opinion offered by Mr. Ophoff from Abitibi, a paper manufacturer. I wrote my article for the end user, i.e., the cataloger, and not from a paper supplier’s point of view. I don't believe Abitibi manufactures papers in the No. 5 through No. 3 range that most catalogers use. It produces primarily uncoated and SCA paper (usually bought by catalogers in the “multi thousand tons” area).
