Abstract: The specification discloses a method for making a paper material having a reduced tendency to cut human skin. The method includes providing a papermaking furnish containing cellulosic fibers and from about 0.5 to about 5.0 wt % by weight dry basis expandable microspheres, forming a paperboard web from the papermaking furnish, drying the web, and calendaring the web to a caliper of from about 11.0 to about 18.0 mils and a density ranging from about 7.0 to about 12.0 lb/3000 ft2/mil. Papers formed according to the method and articles formed therefrom are also disclosed.

Abstract: A system which has an electronic database for entry of an activation code provided with a discrete increment of a printable paper substrate and printer controller software for use with the printable paper substrate which is remotely accessible and which is activated after entry by a user of the activation code into the electronic database. Also, a method for providing the discrete increment of the printable paper substrate to the user, wherein the discrete increment is provided with the activation code which the user enters into the electronic database to activate code to activate the remotely accessible printer controller software for use with the printable paper substrate, as well as a product including the discrete increment of the printable paper substrate along with the activation code to permit the user to activate the remotely accessible printer controller software.

Abstract: The present invention provides dual wavelength imaging compositions, processes for forming dual wavelength imaging compositions, methods for forming images using dual wavelength imaging compositions and substrate (e.g., paper web) treated (e.g., coated) on one or both sides with dual wavelength imaging compositions. Also provided is a dual wavelength imaging particulate comprising a matrix of polymer material and containing: one or more image-forming agents; a photo-oxidizing agent which is activated at a first wavelength of light to cause the one or more image-forming agents to form one or more images; and a reducing agent which is activated at a second wavelength of light to cause termination of the formation of the one or more images.
