CTI Paper USA has commercially released an expanded range of Kromekote ultra-gloss papers aimed at labeling and general printing applications. This includes a new embossed, pearlescent Kromekote Jade Text and Cover line for dry toner/laser and offset printing. A universal coating, according to CTI Paper, enables Kromekote to be used interchangeably across offset and production-rated dry toner/laser equipment. CTI Papers are available in Canada through a range of paper merchants such as Arirva.
The newly launched Kromekote Jade Text and Cover line brings highly reflective, embossed pearlescent textures to the brand for the first time. It is available in luxe surfaces – Brush, Wave, Linen and Pinweave – with immediate availability of folio, digital and cut-size sheets, plus envelopes.
“Printed pieces on Kromekote Jade deliver a beautiful, sophisticated elegance,” said John Kelly, President and co-owner of CTI Paper USA. “Ambient light refracts against the embossed surface and inks to deliver stunning, high-impact print. We’re seeing interest in this unique, differentiated surface from printers of all sizes.”
New for HP Indigo presses, following the growing demand for heavyweights, is a 14- and 18-point Kromekote ultra bright-white board. CTI Paper now offers HP Indigo papers in a variety of weights and thicknesses, from 8 pt. to 18 pt. (350 gsm), the majority of which are certified by the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT).
CTI Paper USA has also received certification for Kromekote on the Konica-Minolta bizhub press platform, while the company explains the paper line is engineered for digital presses from Xerox, Kodak, Canon, Epson, Oce and Ricoh.
“Kromekote’s universal surface delivers other important benefits to merchants and printers – increased simplicity of specification and use, and reduced inventory requirements,” said Kelly.
For offset and dry toner/laser equipment, Kromekote features an ultra bright-white universal C1S and C2S sheet in a wide range of weights and sizes. It is also available in an ultra bright-white C1S label in two basis weights.
Kromekote products are acid-free, lignin-free, elemental chlorine free and, with the exception of foils, recyclable. In addition, Kromekote features offerings in brushed and mirror-finished gold and silver foils and five colours. Kromekote handles specialty finishing such as embossing, foil stamping, aqueous coatings and varnishes.
