purity, strength and elegance. During the paper making process, the
long cotton fibers bond and securely intertwine creating paper with
exceptional strength for the most demanding of printing techniques.

finished, cotton enhanced paper that is luxurious to the touch.
Printing/Handling Tips: Paper should be allowed to acclimate to
pressroom conditions of 70 - 75 F with 50% relative humidity.
Twenty-four hours is recommended and slightly longer during cold
weather. Due to the bulk of the 111# Cover it may require special
handling. Small lifts are recommended. Make sure the cutting blade
is sharp. Conventional low-tack inks are recommended. The use of an
IR oven often helps drying time. Consult with your ink manufacturer
for varnish or aqueous coating applications. Always score before
folding with multiple folds, the primary fold should be in the
grain direction. Applications: Greeting cards, business cards, book
covers, inserts, shopping bags, menus, luxury packaging, folders,
