Press release from the issuing company

Sun Prairie, Wis. – Kromekote, one of North America’s best-known premium cast-coated printing paper brands, is now available in four new thick, luxurious, ultra-bright white heavyweights for production-rated digital printing and color copiers. The papers are Forest Stewardship Council-certified, recyclable and elemental chlorine free.

Two new 14- and 18-point Kromekote items are certified for use on all HP Indigo presses. Two other new 14- and 18-point papers are certified for use on Konica-Minolta AccurioPress (bizhub).

The second group of new products is also engineered for optimal performance on other production-rated dry toner presses and color copiers, including Xerox, Kodak, Kyocera, Canon, Oce and Ricoh.

These papers feature a proven universal coating that makes them fully compatible with all offset presses, delivering extra advantage and efficiencies for merchants and print professionals.

The four new, mirror-smooth 19x13-inch Kromekote items add to the comprehensive suite of Kromekote products available for digital and offset printing. A swatchbook and print demonstration are available through your local paper distributor or by contacting CTI Paper USA at 800-284-7273.

“This important expansion of Kromekote represents CTI Paper USA’s commitment to provide distributors, printers, converters, consumer brands and other end-users with substrates that are highly differentiated, innovative and cost-effective,” said company president John Kelly.

The Kromekote Collection has been regularly updated over the last two decades with new colors, weights and textures for high-profile business and social print projects.

Kromekote is well-suited for standard color copiers used by businesses and nonprofits, giving them the ability to create premium printed materials in-house that look and feel professionally produced.

With its large number of whites, colors, foils and textures, Kromekote is ideal for attention-grabbing print promotions, folders, presentation covers, business cards, greeting cards, invitations, brochures, direct mail, retail tags, packaging and more, across hundreds of commercial and social uses.

Kromekote products are acid-free, lignin-free, elemental chlorine free and, with the exception of foils, recyclable.

For more than 80 years, Kromekote has remained the premium standard in cast-coated printing papers, differentiated by its brilliant, mirror-smooth glossy surface, realistic, highly detailed images, vibrant, saturated colors and excellent on-press performance.

Its fast-drying surface ensures crisp dot formation, super-sharp printed images, rich colors, nuanced shading and fine lines. Kromekote handles specialty finishing such as embossing, foil stamping, aqueous coatings and varnishes. Folding and scoring is clean and crack resistant.
