Mohawk Launches New Technology for HP Indigo |
|
[Cohoes, NY] – Mohawk is excited to introduce Mohawk Superfine i-ToneTM, a breakthrough in uncoated papers for HP Indigo printers. The proprietary i-ToneTM process, developed by Mohawk specifically for the HP Indigo and applied to Superfine, will bring legendary Mohawk Superfine to a new generation of printers. Leveraging the proven technology of the HP Indigo press, Mohawk is once again at the forefront of digital imaging innovation. Mohawk Superfine i-ToneTM also brings unprecedented opportunities for printers to expand their printing capabilities and increase their profit potential, as well as position themselves at the forefront of this exciting technology. “Mohawk Superfine i-ToneTM is the BEST uncoated sheet we have ever run,” says Molly Rosenthal of Digital Page, a leading New York printer. “The way the ink adheres to the sheet is extraordinary. We no longer need to worry about the shelf life of the paper. Superfine will now become our "house" uncoated sheet for our Indigo press,” she adds. Mohawk Superfine i-ToneTM was tested extensively at the Printing Applications Laboratory at nationally renowned RIT. It passed “with flying colors,” according to Digital Printing Technologist Brian Waltz. “Mohawk Superfine i-ToneTM performed very well and easily passed all qualifications. I am really impressed with this paper,” he said. Waltz noted the adhesion is extremely high at 99.5%, the flaking tests were minimal at 1mm or less, and the blanket memory is very strong. After 250 sheets they only required one sheet to clean the blanket memory. These are exceptional results,” he reports. The science behind brilliant printing · Offers exceptional
image transfer, with fewer “clicks” to clean blankets, longer blanket life
and heightened productivity The art behind exquisite printing: Mohawk
