The Highly Anticipated Paper Machine Quality Control Systems, Volume 2 is Here

TAPPI is proud to announce the release of Paper Machine Quality Control Systems, Volume 2, the long-awaited follow-up to the industry’s go-to guide for understanding and mastering quality control in paper production.

A project of TAPPI’s Quality Control System (QCS) Common Interest Group (CIG) within the Process Control Division, this new volume was developed by leading experts Kerry Figiel, Johan Backstrom, Shih-Chin Chen, Jonathan Crawford, Michael Forbes, Tim Murphy, Seyhan Nuyan, and Jack Tippett. Together, these authors bring decades of collective experience to help readers bridge the gap between theory and application in modern papermaking.

This essential resource introduces engineers, operators, and process professionals to the fundamentals of paper machine quality control, providing clear, hands-on guidance to answer the all-important question: “How do we do this?”

Covering both machine and cross-directional control, Volume 2 takes readers from foundational concepts to advanced techniques, with comprehensive insights designed to improve quality, efficiency, and operational consistency. With no other book offering such a practical balance of technical depth and real-world relevance, this is the must-have guide for anyone involved in paper production and process control.

Later this year, additional training videos will be released to complement the book, providing a dynamic learning experience for readers who want to deepen their understanding and apply key principles directly to their work.

Even better, a portion of the proceeds from every purchase supports TAPPI’s Process Control Division Student Scholarships, helping to inspire and educate the next generation of industry leaders.

Don’t miss this opportunity to enhance your expertise and take your paper quality control knowledge to the next level.
