GPA has recently announced the addition of Ultra Digital® 80# Translucent Text to their growing collection of innovative substrates for HP Indigo presses. Made with pristine cellulose fibers, this naturally translucent paper offers unrivaled clarity and post-press versatility that adds an elegant finishing touch to a variety of applications. Ultra Digital® Translucent Paper adds dimension to any project, and is a popular choice for overlays, fly sheets and bellybands for applications ranging from invitations to corporate collateral, direct mail and more. You have assurance that this sheet will perform flawlessly on press and give you beautiful results every time because it is HP Indigo certified and has a ½ inch white stripe on both short edges to trigger the HP Indigo optical sensors. It also offers two-sided printability for added versatility and design options. Since these papers are made without resins and chemical additives, they are very soft to the touch and more easily folded than translucent sheets made with additives. Ultra Digital® Translucent Paper can be easily scored, cut, folded, glued, UV coated, embossed, and foil stamped for endless creative uses. You can also print these papers with white ElectroInk to create clever special effects and play with its opacity. They are stocked and readily available in 18.5 inch x 12.5 inch sheets, with order minimums at only 100 sheets. Traditional vellum papers are often resin impregnated, making them unable to be recycled and not biodegradable. Due to Ultra Digital® Translucent Paper’s pure construction with superfine, responsibly sourced fibers, they boast a variety of conservation properties you can take pride in. They are FSC certified, recyclable, biodegradable, and also acid-free and pH neutral for long life. They are also naturally oil and grease resistant for added durability.
