Wausau Paper Broadens Exact Digital High Definition Smooth Line

WAUSAU, Wisc. – September 9, 2009 – It’s with the heightened demand and popularity of the exceptionally smooth print surface of Wausau Paper’s Exact Digital® High Definition Smooth paper that Wausau Paper® announces the addition of 13 new sizes and a new grade to the line. New sizes are available in Exact Digital® High Definition Smooth Color Copy 98, Exact Digital® High Definition Smooth Recycled Color Copy and Exact Digital® High Definition Smooth Recycled Laser. In addition, a 32 lb. Writing grade has been added to Recycled Color Copy to meet the demand for heavier weight papers.

“The overwhelming response to the launch of the Exact Digital High Definition Smooth paper has led us to expand the line with the most popular digital sizes requested today,” said Andrea Alstad, brand manager for Wausau Paper. “Specifically, the addition of the 19-by-13 sheet is a good fit since this size is becoming more popular with the expansion of digital equipment paper maximums, including the newer HP Indigo models such as the High Definition Smooth line which is HP Indigo certified.”

The new sheet sizes of Exact Digital® High Definition Smooth Color Copy 98 are 8.5”x14” 24 lb. Writing; 19”x13” 28 lb. Writing, 32 lb. Writing and 80 lb. Cover; and 18”x12” 60 lb. Cover.
