Continuous-Feed Inkjet Paper Options Continue to Ramp Up
In September 2013, FutureMark Paper Group launched Future Jet, said to be the industry's first coated inkjet paper made with more than 90 percent recycled fiber. FutureMark has tested Future Jet with various printers and digital inkjet OEMs, including Ricoh's InfoPrint 5000 and Screen USA's Truepress Jet. According to Steve Silver, FutureMark president and CEO, "Our testing on dye-based printers has revealed that Future Jet paper provides breakthrough print quality, with the added benefits of consuming less ink and no need for an extended media dryer."
