Specialty paper manufacturer presents solutions at PRINTING UNITED 2024 as consistent  demonstration of the brand promise PAPER MADE FOR LIFE 

Felix Schoeller is fulfilling its PAPER MADE FOR LIFE brand promise with glimpse at new  sustainable product solutions at this year's Printing United (September 10-12,2024) in Las Vegas.  The S-RACE® TERRA sublimation paper made of 100 percent recycled fibers, the SCM pro terra  and the polyethylen-free ULTRA green photo paper are the consistent implementations of the  promise to use resources and make an essential contribution to society consciously and the  environment with sustainable paper solutions - without compromising on quality. As if that  wasn't enough, the new paper-based DTF transfer product TRANSFER DT paper with 67 per cent  less plastic will soon be a sustainable addition to the transfer films in the product portfolio. You  can experience the unique, sustainable solutions and new products live at the trade fair stand at  booth no. SL11130. 

“We are driving forward our one-stop-shop approach and are in the process of launching  sustainable solutions with real added value for our customers. In doing so, we are thinking  paper further and showing that PAPER MADE FOR LIFE is not just lip service,” says Hadrien  

Cottin, Vice-President of Sales Digital Media Americas. “Rather, it is an expression of an honest  endeavour to find sustainable solutions with real added value for our customers.” 

S-RACE® TERRA makes the sublimation printing process even more sustainable 

With the S-RACE® portfolio, Felix Schoeller has developed sublimation paper that consists  entirely of 100 percent recycled fibers. These industrial fiber residues, such as tissue, books or  envelopes, always come from the same known sources to ensure consistent formulations. This  ensures the high quality and unique properties of S-RACE® sublimation papers. No fresh pulp is  neede, which conserves valuable resources. This process leads to a 25 per cent reduction in CO2  emissions compared to conventional sublimation papers. With its future-proof technology, S RACE® sublimation papers are not only a sustainable solution for products in the sports and  textile industries.

The portfolio also offers papers for every type of sublimation application with products from 75 to 120 g/m² for all those who professionally print and produce any kind of  textile application and merchandise and personalized items like cups, ornaments and panels.. Of  particular interest to the Printing United audience is the S-RACE® Photo Panel Pro 120, which  was developed together with Universal Woods and their ChromaLuxe® brand. It is designed for  professional large format printers that can use it to process small and large format applications.  It offers perfect edge-to-edge image reproduction, more vibrant colors and deeper, non-cloudy blacks, making it the perfect complement to ChromaLuxe® panels. 

Sustainable prints for advertising materials at the point of sale 

Like the S-RACE® TERRA, the new SCM pro terra paper comprises 65% recycled fibersThe  manufacturing process of this special coated matt paper requires only a small amount of virgin  pulp, thus conserving resources. As a result, CO2 emissions can be reduced by as much as 33  percent compared to conventional SCM papers. With its unique naturally recycled matt surface,  the 95-gram paper offers excellent line sharpness. At the same time, the special coating  guarantees brilliant and intense colors for a sustainable solution for advertising materials at the  point of sale. 

ULTRA green paper for sustainable high-end photo quality without polyethylen 

ULTRA green Semi Gloss 230 is a sustainable alternative to high-quality inkjet photo papers with  PE-based coatings. The newly developed pigment-based barrier layer is free from polyethylen.  The white photo paper has a semi gloss surface. It is perfect for sustainable poster printing in  high-end photo quality thanks to its microporous ink-receiving layer. ULTRA green is made from  100% FSC-certified pulp and is Made in Germany. 

Coming soon: TRANSFER DT paper Matt 110 complements the portfolio of high-quality  transfer media 

TRANSFER DT paper Matt 110 complements the portfolio of high-quality Felix Schoeller transfer  media - sustainably and without compromise. The FSC-certified transfer paper saves 67 percent  of plastic and thus conserves important resources. At the same time, it guarantees the same  excellent properties in the DTF process as high-quality transfer films - for intense colors and  stable production and processing processes. "We are putting our words into action and offering  customers and partners the opportunity to help drive change with sustainable solutions," says  Dieter Kaumkötter, Product Manager Transfer Media.

In 2023, Felix Schoeller announced its  entry into the world of transfer media and launched two TRANSFER DTF films and a classic  transfer film for screen printing processes. At the same time, the company promised to offer a  solution based on renewable raw materials in the long term. Felix Schoeller reached this milestone with the help of in-house development teams, product experts, and valuable feedback  from test customers. The new paper-based DTF solution TRANSFER DT paper will be announced  and Printung United and is commercially available soon. The comprehensive product portfolio  with four high-quality transfer media is ready for the market.
