GPA adds translucent paper to its Indigo portfolio

GPA has introduced Ultra Digital 80-pound Translucent Text to its growing collection of substrates for HP Indigo presses. Made with “pristine” cellulose fibres, 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 is a popular choice for overlays, fly sheets and bellybands for applications ranging from invitations to corporate collateral, direct mail and more. It’s HP Indigo certified and has a half-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 the papers are made without resins and chemical additives, they’re soft to the touch and more easily folded than translucent sheets made with additives. The paper can be easily scored, cut, folded, glued, UV-coated, embossed and foil stamped. You can also print these papers with white ElectroInk to create special effects and modify its opacity. They’re available in 18.5” x 12.5” sheets. Minimum order is 100.
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 fibres, they include a variety of conservation properties. They’re FSC-certified, recyclable, biodegradable, acid-free and pH neutral. They’re also oil and grease resistant.

Products include coated and uncoated papers, pressure-sensitive and specialty papers, and synthetic films and substrates exclusively engineered for HP Indigo and other digital presses.
