Color Inkjet Printing: Inkjet’s Web Paper Pursuit
Burns advises that Prosper generally requires a treated paper, and, while ColorPro papers are likely to work on the Prosper, other papers may work better, and adds that a bonding system to include treatment of coated papers will be available in 2011.
For coated papers, Paul Bradshaw, senior vice president at Appleton Coated, notes that his company is "jointly developing high-speed inkjet coated media with HP, the first product being the Utopia Book Inkjet 45-lb. Matte Text." Bradshaw says that the Utopia Inkjet family, including Utopia Book Inkjet, does not require the use of the bonding agent, and that this can be a "significant cost reduction." He adds that Appleton Coated has also worked with Kodak to qualify this grade on the Prosper press.
