Continuous-Feed Inkjet Paper Options Continue to Ramp Up
Based on interviews with mills and OEMs, Market-Intell believes that as much as 80 percent of all continuous-feed inkjet is printed on ordinary uncoated offset papers.
Book publishers have also been early adopters, as they quickly understood the value proposition in terms of shorter runs, fewer returns and less waste. Matte coated inkjet papers have met with success in book publishing, and growth has supported longer runs, which have helped the mills keep costs down.
