23.08.2010 | MATTE, BULKY AND NEWLY DEVELOP0ED: "MY VOLUME gravure"

Prinovis worked with the paper manufacturer Myllykoski to develop an absolute novelty in gravure: a matte bulk paper called “MY VOLUME gravure”. “MY VOLUME expands Prinovis’s range of paper varieties, enabling it to offer customers a greater diversity. The new paper also allows Prinovis to compete with offset competitors for the first time — in the past, matte bulk paper was only available in offset grades.

“In ‘MY VOLUME gravure’ we have created a paper grade that opens up unique applications for customers and printers alike,” says Monika Voigt confidently. In her role as Head of Central Quality Assurance Paper, she supervised the entire development process for Prinovis, from planning to paper production to print trial. The advantages of “MY VOLUME gravure” are obvious to her: “Our new paper has a very compelling, unique look and feel.”

"MY VOLUME gravure" is available in three grammages: 57, 65 und 75 g/m². With 20 percent more volume than conventional papers, a 75-gram paper can, for instance, keep up with 90 g/m² papers. This allows us to save weight with MY VOLUME, which is then reflected in comparatively lower overall paper costs. So the new grade allows Prinovis to offer customers a more cost-efficient paper variety for high-quality printed products like catalogues, supplements and magazines.

Prinovis and Myllykoski will be entering the race for the ‘European Publication Gravure Award 2010’ in September in the categories ‘Innovative Product’ and ‘LWC Papers <70 g/m²’ with “MY VOLUME gravure”. The award is presented by the European Rotogravure Association (ERA) to promote gravure printing.
