where can I find informations about the paper grades used in the SWOP

ISO paper type 5 is *uncoated* yellowish)
The downloadable PDF at http://www.swop.org/specification/ goes into
some detail about the characterizations of the papers, including the
actual ones they supposedly used on the press runs. I'm not sure if this
is what you had in mind, but its something.
thanks :-) unfortunately there are no references in this paper appart
from this note in brackets "... a # 5 sheet (ISO Grade 5 paper)"
I stumbled across "SWOP #5 groundwood coated publication printing sheet"
Just for the edification of
everyone here, where exactly can we find detailed information about the
ISO paper classifications?
AFAIK in ISO 12647-2 (I don't have it here)
here is a short excerpt from the bvdm MediaStandard Print 2006:
<http://www.bvdm-online.de/Aktuelles/Downloads.php>
Offset printing: 4 printing conditions, cf. ISO 12647-2
> Paper types 1 and 2: coated paper above 70 g/m2
> Paper type 3: LWC paper
> Paper type 4: uncoated, white
> Paper type 5: uncoated, yellowish
The info files for the eci profiles
(<http://www.eci.org/eci/de/060_downloads.php#000330>,
"ECI_Offset_2007.zip" contain some additional information
and also in the ICC characterisazion data registry
<http://color.org/drsection1.xalter> one can find some details.
I once had a whitepaper about the ISO paper types, but I can't find it
anymore.
