No, far from it. Bristol paper is a lower quality grade of paper as well as having a different purpose.

Bristol paper is a heavy paper and is usually made by layering or laminating papers together to the desired thickness. It takes its name from Bristol, England where this paper was first made, originally from rags. Sulfite paper is made from sulfite wood pulp. The pulp is pressed and bleached with chemicals until brilliant white. Because of this, sulfite paper is perfect for use as photographic paper as well as glossy brochures, books and other projects where reproducing images is important. The sulfite paper is able to render color and clarity extremely well thanks to its chemical treatment when being made.
