In the redesign process for our Content Management System, we expanded our database to include addtional information for each grade - including Whiteness, Roughness, Gloss, Certification, and more. In order to fit all of the addtional information, we had to print our 8.5 x 11 Competitive Grade Finder in a landscape (sideways) orientation.
