HAMILTON, Ohio, May 30, 2007 -- North American graphics professionals now have access to a new print demonstration of high-end coated and uncoated papers printed on HP Indigo, Kodak NexPress and Xerox iGen3 digital presses. The new print demos are available at no charge by calling 513-869-5149 or visiting www.smartpapers.com/digital. SMART Papers offers the widest selection of premium glossy, matte and uncoated papers for digital presses. It created the compact print demonstration kits to help printers and designers ensure they’re picking the right paper for the digital presses they use—and for the print job at hand. The three kits show individual print samples on a variety of papers for their specific digital press. The papers demonstrated are SMART Papers’s flagship Kromekote family of papers as well as Knightkote Matte, Pegasus and Carnival paper brands. “For the first time, printers and designers can choose digital papers for OEM-branded digital presses with total confidence,” said SMART Papers president and chief operating officer Dan Maheu. “Those who’ve already used the print demo kits say they save them time, money and hassle—and, perhaps most important, avoid costly mistakes of selecting the wrong paper for their specific digital press.” In addition to papers for HP Indigo, Xerox iGen3 and Kodak NexPress, the company’s papers are also designed to work in presses and production-rated color copiers from all major OEMs worldwide. These new print samples are practical tools for printers, allowing them to quickly view what they are capable of producing when they have the papers they know will perform flawlessly on the digital presses they use.
