enhanced whiteness and opacity at a lower cost
 Holmen Board and Paper has introduced a “groundbreaking” magazine paper that is whiter than conventional alternatives, delivering sharper photographic reproduction along with low carbon emissions. Holmen Aspect is “an exceptionally white, wood-containing paper designed to set new standards in magazine printing. Developed for the demands of a transforming market, it ensures sharp visual reproduction and an appealing page thickness even with a low gsm weight,” said the company.
The paper’s enhanced whiteness allows photographic content in the high dynamic range to be reproduced with clarity, sharper contrasts and vivid detail. Its smooth matt surface provides a glare-free reading experience. The paper also offers superior opacity, so content won’t show through to the other side of the page, even when a low gsm is used. “Premium content can now be printed more cost effectively for brands in the high-end categories,” added Christophe Irion, Segment Manager of Magazines at Holmen Board and Paper.
