Hammermill Introduces New 100-lb. Color Copy Gloss
International Paper introduced the world to Hammermill Color Copy paper in 1992. Its super bright shade and ultra smooth finish provided the ideal surface for true color reproduction. A decade later, IP developed Hammermill Color Copy Gloss, the first gloss coated sheet that will run in color copiers and laser printers. The 80-lb. basis weight introduced the performance printers expect and met the consumers’ need for a gloss finish.
Now, International Paper is introducing a new, heavier basis weight of Hammermill Color Copy Gloss. Developed to keep pace with the market, 100-lb. Hammermill Color Copy Gloss text is the ideal basis weight for full coverage printing. The heavier weight keeps the sheet flat through the high temperature fuser. It is available in 8-1/2 X11, 17X11 and 18X12. Contact Olmsted-Kirk Paper to see samples of the new 100-lb. Hammermill Color Copy Gloss.
