Publishing Paper
We understand the importance of balancing on-press performance with bottom-line results. So we offer a focused selection of coated and uncoated papers for publications, inserts, and mailings.
Our Coated Publishing Papers: TruSpec
- Ideal for catalogs, magazines and freestanding inserts
- Proven smoothness and brightness in white shades up to 81 brightness for sharp image reproduction, good contrast, and crisp text
- Gloss and low-glare finishes for a wide variety of publishing applications
- Basis weights from 36# to 60#
- Great opacity for less bleed-through from page to page and front to back
- Excellent fiber strength that stands up to postal sorting and handling, so materials hold their shape from press to final delivery.
TruSpec4
Our 81 bright #4 offers a combination of whiteness and brightness that brings out the best in graphics, ensuring bold colors that help sell magazines, advertising, catalog merchandise, and coupon-promoted products. Photos are vibrant. Text is crisp. The look is high-end.
