After a series of treatments and processes, the pulp is made into paper rolls or flat paper and then packaged [12]. - It is widely used in books, periodicals, commercial prints, and office supplies. Based on quantitative and brightness, it can be classified into different types [13][16]. - It has weak substitutability with writing paper, lightweight paper, and electrostatic copy paper due to differences in raw materials, performance, and demand scenarios, but strong substitutability with copperplate paper and lightly coated paper because of similar production processes, raw materials, and overlapping demand scenarios [17][18][21]. 2.
