Continuous-feed Inkjet: The Web Paper Challenge
Gianluigi Rankin, worldwide marketing product manager for HP Graphics Media, explains that virtually all uncoated papers will produce good results on the HP T-series, either papers with ColorPRO Technology or with an on-press bonding agent. Rankin adds that the ColorPRO Technology is more economical and produces better image quality than the bonding agent for medium-to-high ink coverage. Uncoated ColorPRO paper suppliers include Georgia Pacific, International Paper, Resolute Forest Products and Appleton Coated with Utopia Uncoated Inkjet. Coated papers include Appleton Coated Utopia Inkjet and Utopia Book Inkjet in North America. However, for both coated and uncoated, several other mills claim that their papers work as well.
