Cov ntawv kab lis kev cai hais txog cov ntawv siv rau lub hom phiaj xws li luam ntawv, sau ntawv, thiab kos duab-cov haujlwm cuam tshuam nrog kev tshaj tawm kab lis kev cai- thiab tau siv dav hauv phau ntawv, ntawv xov xwm, ntawv xov xwm, thiab cov ntaub ntawv chaw ua haujlwm. Cov ntawv zoo li no feem ntau ua rau lub ntsej muag du, zoo printability thiab writability, nrog rau lub zog txaus thiab kav ntev. Hom ntawv kab lis kev cai tseem ceeb muaj xws li cov ntawv offset, ntawv coated, cov ntawv sib sib zog nqus, thiab cov ntawv xov xwm; Txhua hom muaj cov txheej txheem tsim khoom tshwj xeeb thiab cov qauv zoo raws li nws cov yam ntxwv thiab kev npaj siv.
Kev tsim cov ntawv kab lis kev cai suav nrog ntau theem, suav nrog pulping, papermaking, txheej, thiab calendering. Cov theem pulping txiav txim siab cov khoom tseem ceeb xws li lub zog thiab kev ua kom dawb; Papermaking theem cuam tshuam txog uniformity thiab nto yam ntxwv; thiab txheej txheej thiab calendering theem ntxiv txhim khu kev luam ntawv thiab pom kev zoo. Thoob plaws hauv cov txheej txheem tsim khoom, cov kev txwv xws li cov ntsiab lus noo noo thiab pH yuav tsum tau ua tib zoo tswj xyuas kom cov ntawv ruaj khov thiab tsim nyog rau kev siv.
