This part of ISO 8791 specifies a method for determining the roughness of paper and board using an
apparatus which complies with the Print-surf method, as defined in this part of ISO 8791. It is applicable to all
printing papers and boards with which it is possible to form a substantially airtight seal against the guard lands
of the measuring head.
