How do you decrease cobb value in paper?

To decrease the Cobb value in paper, you can focus on reducing the paper's basis weight or increasing its moisture content, as both factors can influence the Cobb value, which measures water absorption. Additionally, using additives or coatings that enhance water resistance can help lower the Cobb value by minimizing the paper's ability to absorb moisture. Finally, selecting fibers with lower water retention properties during the pulping process can also contribute to a reduced Cobb value.
