After some researching I believe that looking at a paper's CIE "Whiteness"
might be a better way to find a paper that is a closer match to the
ISOcoated v2 paper Lab value of 95,0,-2.

So now I've found some laser papers that list their CIE WHITENESS - but how
does one translate that value to CIE Lab?
If I know a paper's CIE Whiteness rating (for example HP's Brochure Laser
Paper HEW-Q6610A - CIE Whiteness = 100) - how can I know if that is close to
the ISOcoated v2 paper target?
