Tips for Mohawk Inxwell Recycled Fine Paper "NAVAJO"

Inxwell fine papers and manufacturered with a new, exclusive process that provides unparalleled printing results and significant opacity increases. Inxwell fine papers print without the dot gain characteristic of other text and cover paper. Inks sit on the surface of the sheets for greater clarity, density and contrast. Printing is more precise, with better detail and richer color.

Mohawk Navajo is in the line of Inxwell fine papers. Brilliant white Navajo boasts a 98 brightness and a super-smooth finish. It bridges the gap between the tactile qualities of text & cover paper and the print qualities of coated paper. Because Mohawk Navajo is no press-sized with starch commonly used on uncoated papers, the customer should review the followings:

  1. Halftones and color separation film should relate to coated paper more than uncoated paper.

  2. To keep 4-color process sharp and smooth, UCR, undercolor removal, or GCR, gray component removal can be used (as done with other uncoated papers.)

  3. Mohawk Navajo requiries far less ink and water than other uncoated papers. Nominal wet ink densities for the Inxwell papers should be close to: K-1.30, C-1.15, M-1.15, Y-0.85. Appreciably higher or lower densities should not be necessary to print with the clarity and color saturation that most print buyers would want. Nor should it be necessary to print with more than the correct form roller, ink film thicknesses that these densities would normally represent. Print with a minimal amount of water on the plates. The Lift quantity should also be reduced to improve the drying time.

  4. Using low solvent/high solids inks for jobs with heavy overprint area and dark solids may prevent a galvanized look that sometimes appears on many uncoated papers when held at an angle to a light source. Moreover, these inks will also lesson the ink setting and drying time.

  5. When using PANTONE match colors, the printed results will be closer in value to the coated chips, but not as glossy.

  6. For best results, 148gsm or above text papers and all cover weights should be scored before folded. Folds against the grain, gatefolds, and fold running throughout heavily inked areas should also be scored. Successful scores rely on moist paper and the proper score width and depth.

    Dry paper fibers aren't strong and flexible like moist fibers. To prevent dry paper, monitor pile temperature if using infrared dryers and store paper in an area with a relative humidity of about 40%.

    Letterpress scores with a rounded rule and superior to litho and folding machine scores. The width and depth of the score should be adjusted for the paper thickness. The formula to determine the minimum score width is 2.5 x the caliper of the paper +.008."
