Coated Prices UP

The coated paper markets continue to witness strength and the current $40/ton price initiative is being implemented. Coated Free producer's backlogs are strong, primarily due to the anti dumping fees imposed by the USA against the Chinese and Indonesian mills. Both the Publication groundwood and coated free markets are seasonally strong.

I hope this aggressive position does not hurt the printer demand. Clearly, these increases must be passed along. The electronic readers are making headway and slowly replacing ink on paper. I HOPE INCREASED PRICING DOES NOT ACCELERATE THIS PROCESS.
