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:
-
Halftones and color separation film should relate to coated
paper more than uncoated paper.
- 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.)
- 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.
- 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.
- When using PANTONE match colors, the printed results will be
closer in value to the coated chips, but not as glossy.
- 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."
