Surface properties The most important surface properties of paper are: roughness or smoothness gloss surface strength and friction. Since earlier text discussed surface strength, this section will only cover smoothness or roughness and friction. Gloss is discussed in Optical properties of paper and board section. The End-use properties of printing papers section also discusses surface
