Color Materials Usage Guide
Introduction
Today, office documents are no longer limited to black and white.
There are literally thousands of choices: colors, images, paper and
multiple technology options. Desktop publishing, color laser printing,
on-demand and digital full-color printing offer many document
creation choices but also present some challenging questions —
especially when it comes to choosing paper.
Making the best decision
Which paper is best for a full-color image? Which papers work best
with different print technologies and applications? How does dry ink
interact with paper? Which papers offer the highest performance
and value? What about grades, weights, shades, textures and
finishes?
Answers to these question and more
The Color Materials Usage Guide gives you an inside look at the
differences in the way paper is made and how it influences reliability
and image quality; how dry ink particles, ink and paper fibers
interact; and how you can improve productivity by using papers that
are compatible with your equipment and application.
Papers for today’s business
Because of the growing demand for more sophisticated printing
papers in digital print environments, paper mills are beginning to
offer a wide range of papers specifically designed for optimum
performance on today’s advanced, full-featured color printers.This
Color Materials Usage Guide explores the options and shows you
how to specify the right paper for the best results.
