A digital print job needs to run on papers that deliver excellent performance in digital printers. No worries here—the selection of color and finishes of paper is broad and rapidly growing.

A recent survey by the Printing Industry Center revealed that 46% of commercial digital printers collaborate with their customers to make paper decisions.2 Share your expertise on the ever-expanding selection of digitally optimized paper that works best with your press, and you’ll both be happy with the outcome.

“Most of the designers I work with have an idea about the quality and type of paper they want used. I find out what they are envisioning, and then share our portfolio of digital paper.”

Tip: The selection of standard and specialty paper stock for digital presses broadens daily. Stay on top of the offerings so you can provide insightful solutions that are press compatible.
