Market update on Coated Free Sheet

Prices have fallen $20/ton in September. These grades are used for promotions, annual reports, and value added 'coffee table' magazines. This market has remained soft all year but is forecasted to improve for the holiday season. The domestic paper producers have been hurt by increased imports from Asia. Note, Asia has announced increasing capacity of this grade with new equipment - adding over 1million tons of new production!!
