Internal sizing of paper is done to

  • A.increase the brightness of the sheet
  • B.make the finished sheet thicker
  • C.remove any residual lignin
  • D.control penetration of water and ink

Answer: D

Correct answer: control penetration of water and ink

Cellulose fibres are hydrophilic, so an unsized sheet wicks liquid like blotting paper. Internal sizing adds a hydrophobic agent to the stock so that water and ink stay on the surface long enough to be controlled - which is what allows printing without feathering and writing without spreading. It does not affect brightness, thickness or lignin.
