Continuous-Feed Inkjet Paper Options Continue to Ramp Up
TrueJet sales nearly doubled in 2013, according to Essary, but from a small base. He adds that full-color hybrid printing is growing, with four-color inkjet capability on offset presses. Four-color imprinting provides challenges that black text does not, and NewPage offers TrueJet Hybrid, which he says is the "only guaranteed gloss product" for hybrid printing. It is suitable for full-color inkjet up to 50 percent coverage, and also for offset printing at speeds up to 1,000 fpm.
