“Mark is obviously an expert in all aspects of coloration, from dye and whitener selection and application to DCS measurement and control. He was very knowledgeable and a key resource on our project transitioning a large white paper machine to a colored paper machine.

His contributions to the project were invaluable, and I am certain he will be an asset to anyone looking to optimize their coloration strategies.”
