Correction to article.

Dear Editor:

We were very pleased to see our article, "Aspen BCTMP: Proven performance," appear in the November issue of Solutions! Aspen BCTMP is not as well known in the United States as it is in our main markets of Europe and Southeast Asia, so we welcomed the opportunity to provide your readers with evidence of its excellent track record in a head range of applications.

We would, however, like to point out that a serious error was introduced into the article. The graphs on page 30 were incorrectly reproduced by your publication. Referring to our original submission, you will note that the uppermost line in Figure 1 ... pertained to a furnish of 30% 250/85 HB, not 100% US SMH BKP, as your legend indicates. All other lines in Figures 1 and 2 are similarly misnamed in the legends, directly contradicting the text of the article and potentially leaving your readers with the incorrect impression: that a SMH BKP-only furnish produces better bulk and opacity compared to a furnish with 30% BCTMP and 70% BKP.

As noted, the legends in Figures 1 and 2 of "Aspen BCTMP: Proven performance" by Ron J. Reds and Gregg Nielsen were reproduced incorrectly on p. 30 of the November 2001 Solutions! magazine. We regret the error: The corrected figures are shown here.
