EUR100m Spend Improves Paper Ranges
After completing modernisation work on two of its fine paper machines in autumn 2006, UPM will present an upgraded and expanded range of office papers at Paperworld in Frankfurt (Germany).
In the first part, UPM said the workbooks demonstrate how vibrant automative imagery becomes when printed with MetalFX inks and finished with texture and UV varnishes.
The company added that, if used creatively, finishing and converting techniques can make images come alive.
That was demonstrated by the True Life campaign run in 2005 with the UPM Finesse range of art papers.
Anke Bockmann, brand manager for graphic papers at UPM, said: "Each printing and paper workbook introduces a different printing or finishing technique and shows how its special effects work on the five different surfaces of UPM Finesse and two different basis weights.
By always using the same motif, we can truly compare the effects on different surfaces and basis weights with each other." The first issue of the new series compares images printed with MetalFX inks and finished with texture and UV-varnishes to the same motifs printed by standard processes.
MetalFX inks are claimed to reproduce millions of metallic colours.
They were used to reproduce the image of a Jaguar car and to bring the sparkle of chrome to life.
Special varnishing effects generate a tactile experience of the glossy wooden dashboard, or the pure indulgence of leather, said UPM.
The printing and paper workbooks can be ordered from UPM.
