parCal | Supercalendered Paper (SC)

The parCal range represents the pinnacle of uncoated mechanical paper technology. Through the supercalendering process—where the paper is passed through high-pressure heated rollers—the fibers are compressed to create a remarkably smooth, glossy finish without the need for additional coatings. Premium Visuals: Offers high gloss and excellent ink holdout, making it the ideal choice for image-heavy magazines, retail catalogs, and advertising inserts. Cost-Efficient Quality: Provides a luxury look and feel at a more economical price point than fully coated stocks. High-Speed Performance: Engineered for exceptional runnability on modern rotogravure and offset presses, reducing the risk of web breaks during high-volume production.

parHeat | High-Performance Newsprint

parHeat is specifically developed for the rigorous demands of heatset web offset (HSWO) printing. While traditional newsprint is designed for coldset processes, parHeat is stabilized to withstand the high temperatures required to dry heatset inks quickly. Enhanced Readability: Featuring optimized opacity and brightness, it ensures sharp text and clear contrast, which is essential for newspapers, tabloids, and high-frequency periodicals. Dimensional Stability: Designed to remain flat and resist warping or “fluting” when exposed to the heat of the drying ovens. Lightweight Strength: Maintains high tensile strength even at lower basis weights, allowing publishers to reduce mailing costs without sacrificing the integrity of the publication.
