About this file
This document is a detailed bid specification for continuous feed paper stock issued by the State of California, specifically for the Office of State Publishing (OSP) and the Franchise Tax Board (FTB). The bid specification, identified with Event ID #0000019470, establishes minimum quality standards for paper to be used in high-speed continuous web fed digital printers and inserting equipment across these state agencies.
The specification covers two variations of Magnetic Optically Clear Reader (MOCR) paper: a 20 lb. white paper with pin-feed hole tabs and a standard 20 lb. white MOCR paper. Key technical requirements include roll width from 18.0 inches with specific diameter tolerances, composition of over 80% chemical wood pulp, and precise performance specifications such as brightness (minimum 92%), opacity (minimum 88%), and specific smoothness and stiffness measurements. The paper must be compatible with Canon OCE 7650 Vario Stream printers and specific inserter mail processing equipment. Additionally, the paper must meet environmentally preferable purchasing standards by obtaining either Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) or Sustainable Forest Initiative (SFI) Chain of Custody certification.
