Continuous-feed Inkjet: The Web Paper Challenge
Domtar's approach is the opposite of Finch's. Ann Rieser, director of market development at Domtar, says that their approach was to create a line of multipurpose papers that work with both dye and pigment systems. "ExpressFlo 92 and VividFlo 96 both have an enhanced surface treatment designed to work with both dye and pigment high-speed inkjet systems, as well as laser and offset printing applications." She adds that "VividFlo has been especially well-received due to enhanced formation, and higher brightness and opacity." Domtar also offers GraphicFlo, a super-smooth, untreated paper with Sheffield Smoothness of 70 that is "laser and inkjet compatible, and designed for use with an in-line treatment."
