Plain-backed papers are the least expensive, however, they require either a double sided adhesive or a paper holding ring. The disadvanatage to using a paper holiding ring is that the mounted specimen cannot track over the edge of the grinding paper. Thus the paper does not break down uniformly and thus can produce over grinding of the mount away from the sample. This artifact results in the polished mount exhibiting a crescent moon which can affect the edge of the speciment. This artifact has also been known as "mooning" or MRD (material removal differential)
