Papers have been designed for use in high-speed inkjet printing
The new portfolio includes four treated, coated grades, that the two companies say provide “productive and smooth printing, excellent image production and ease of use for customers”.
ColorPRO papers are compatible with all existing HP Inkjet presses, as well as the newest generation unveiled at PRINTING United Expo in Las Vegas in October.
Three grades have achieved ColorPRO Technology – UPM Star matt JET 45 lbs, UPM Star matt 1.2 JET 54.1 lbs and UPM Finesse matt JET 60.8 lbs – while a fourth grade, UPM Finesse gloss JET 77.7 lbs, is expected to be qualified shortly.
“Digital printing technologies are being increasingly adopted by conventional printing as well as specialist players,” UPM’s senior vice president of sales Ruud van den Berg says, adding: “UPM Communication Papers is at the frontline of this shift, ready to make a smooth transition for customers embracing digital printing methods.
“As a committed graphic paper provider, we monitor carefully and constantly how printing methods are evolving, so we can anticipate the needs of our customers. Compatibility between the printing press and paper provides an added assurance to customers that they will achieve consistent high quality for their needs.”
