uncoated printing paper, usually made from mechanical wood pulp
A light, low cost paper created specifically for newspapers, it is composed of mechanical or groundwood pulp.
Newsprint is a highly mechanical, machine-finished or calendered rotary printing paper (40 - 56 g/m) mainly made from mechanical and increasingly waste paper pulps. In line with its intended use as a short-lived information medium, the demands on newsprint in terms of optical properties or printability are lower than those on other, e.g. coated printing papers. Newsprint must have a very good runnability: today's state-of-the-art printing techniques require a paper with a good tear strength so that the uninterrupted production on high-speed rotary presses is ensured. Newsprint is used for dailies, weeklies and free journals produced in letterpress or offset printing.
Paper made primarily from groundwood pulp.
A dull, porous paper of medium weight used primarily for newspapers and shoppers but also for some catalogs and directories.
Coarse paper from which newspapers are commonly produced.
This is blank sheets of paper used for soaking up dye, water, paint, gutta, wax and whatever else you want soak up.

It's also the best thing to use when wrapping your silk for steaming.

Paper made for the purpose of printing newspapers. Varieties of newsprint are also used for directories - when it is described as directory paper - and for some magazines and comics.

Alternate term for the low grade paper used to make newspaper.
The uncoated, machine-finished paper on which newspapers are printed.
The paper upon which the newspaper is printed. The term is used chiefly to refer to the woodpulp paper which was first used in 1867 and which became standard by the 1890's. Unfortunately this paper is highly acidic, bearing excessive amounts of residue from the manufacturing process. This has caused the loss of the great majority of saved specimens over the years; ironically, well preserved modern woodpulp papers are much scarcer than earlier rag based papers in collectible condition. It may be that our era, with its emphasis on information, may be a blank in future history books, as all our records are written on such perishable substances as woodpulp paper, film, and magnetic media
