Printing and Publishing Papers
Today's competitive market requires papers that offer the highest print quality
and press performance coupled with lower cost and higher environmental advantage.
Our Norbrite® uncoated mechanical grades offer customers the full spectrum of
possibilities for printing and publishing.
Our paper grades are available in a wide range of brightness levels specifically
designed for high-quality offset printing, such as for inserts, direct mail, educational
workbooks, financial statements, manuals, catalogs, and books.
All Norbrite products have a specially treated surface to enhance press performance
and improve print quality on both heat-set and cold-set web presses. These grades
can be substituted for many free-sheet applications that do not require an extended
shelf life.
Your Low-Cost Alternative
When you select Norbrite, you'll see a yield advantage of 5 to 20 percent over uncoated
free-sheet products. That's because our thermo mechanical pulp fiber provides a
sheet with increased opacity, caliper, and printing area in a lower basis weight
when compared to paper made with fiber from the traditional kraft process.
Norbrite Printing Grades
Our printing grades provide superb print quality and crisp color reproduction, while
the enhanced surface treatment allows for extended press runs without downtime for
wash-ups.
