I'll give it a try.  I was trying make some paper fibers, but it's too small
to see right now.
Currently, the paper is made from two layered textures.  The black stripe
which comes from an image map and the rest which is a crackle pattern.

Nope.  Globally set to 0.  I kept the diffuse at default values.  I'll try
to fiddle with it a bit.  Upon closer inspection, I see what you mean by
'glow'.  I fixed it by dropping the diffuse value, but increasing the
brightness a bit.

Thanks for your advice,
Richard.
