===Supercalender=== A '''supercalender'''<!-- Note: This is the correct spelling of "calender" when used in this sense. --> is a stack of calenders consisting of alternating [[steel]]- and [[fiber]]-covered rolls through which [[paper]] is passed to increase its [[density]], smoothness and gloss. It is similar to a calender except that alternate chilled cast-iron and softer rolls are used. The rolls used to supercalender uncoated paper usually consist of [[cast iron]] and highly compressed paper, while the rolls used for [[coated paper]] are usually cast iron and highly compressed cotton. The finish produced varies according to the raw material used to make the paper and the pressure exerted on it, and ranges from the highest English finish to a highly glazed surface. Supercalendered papers are sometimes used for books containing fine line blocks or [[halftone]]s because they print well from type and halftones, although for the latter they are not as good as coated paper.
