glossy fine grained coated paper
Explanation:
I would contest "wood-free" in the above answer for the simple reason that because it is written "sans trace" I do not feel we can assume that it is "woodless." (Sans trace to me means with no apparent sign... implying that it is there.) To support this I refer you to the following taken from the web page at:http://www.buropapier.be/static/BF/40200BF.htm

Pourquoi parle-t-on de papier "sans bois"?
A part les papier de luxe fabriqué avec un part de 25 à 100% de coton, tous les papiers de bureau sont fabriqués à partir de cellulose, c’est à dire de la fibre de bois, bon marché, d’excellente qualité et entièrement renouvelable et même cultivable.
Dans le langage courant "sans bois" signifie "sans trace apparente de bois", c’est à dire une cellulose préparée chimiquement et non mécaniquement
Le procédé mécanique ne permet pas d’éliminer totalement les "traces de bois" et de lignine. Il donne une pâte qui jaunit (comme votre journal) et n’assure pas la pérennité des documents. Ce procédé ne convient pas à la fabrication de papier bureautique parce qu’il dégrade les composants des copieurs et imprimantes.

I also call your attention to this web page, which, I feel, when talking about woodless paper refers to it as "sans bois" http://www.chez.com/recyclage/normes2.htm

Hope we have helped you here.
