Depends of the kind of world you live in. In the web world, I'd say 70% of
the volume of printing still happens on 72 TAPPI brightness #5 "TR-001:1995
like" paper stock. And that's only publication. Take all those week-end
flyers put out by large chain retailers, those are not ran on #1 or #2 or #3
or #4 or even #5 coated paper, those are ran on SCA and even lesser grades
quality paper. I beg to disagree with your perception that "SWOPv2 no
represents atypical web offset". Especially in these times of shrinking
printing industry's pie relative to the Internet's exponential growth. Faced
with diminishing subscribers and advertisers that are flocking to google en
masse, you have no idea the economical headaches the publication industry is
going through. If anything, the quality of paper is only going to get worse.
I see more optical brighteners. Paper mills are closing left and right.
Things are not exactly bright, you know. Maybe in your consulting practice,
you see less and less "SWOPv2-like" print conditions but I have a hard time
with your statement for web offset. The largest publisher in the US, Time,
is still ran on #5 coated paper, as far as I know. Publishers, who foot the
bill for paper, are not exactly expanding, you know.
