This part of ISO 8254 specifies a method for measuring the specular gloss of paper at an angle of 75° to the normal to the paper surface. Although its chief application is to coated papers, it may also be used for glossy uncoated papers such as supercalendered papers.NOTE 1 This method does not provide an assessment of image-reflecting quality and should not be used for castcoated, lacquered, highly varnished or waxed papers or for high-gloss ink films. For these purposes, measurements at other angles, for example 20°, are preferred, although the present method has been shown to be suitable for gloss measurements of most other ink films on paper or paperboa
