Paper Options for Continuous-feed Inkjet
Focus on Books
At Appleton Coated, the initial focus has been on books. Ann Whalen, senior vice president, advises that Appleton Coated "has now developed a book inkjet product, Utopia Book PE, that works in piezo electric inkjet with modified driers and has expanded its gloss line down to 60# text and to 9-point cover." Utopia Inkjet, with gloss, dull and matte finishes, was developed with HP and optimized for the HP T-series. Whalen adds that Appleton Coated is the leading supplier of coated products for the HP T-series presses.
