The new 4CC has better specifications!

The specifications of the 4CC, the excellent paper for digital print, has now been upgraded. The whole product range of this improved 4CC will become available at BookmarkDirect in October 2005.

The uncoated 'Premium' version has been made whiter moving from a CIE whiteness coefficient of 150 to 160. The whiter hue enhances the print contrast and makes images look more vivid.

In addition the surface of the thicker (heavier) papers have been made smoother to enable more even colour reproduction, specially in solid areas of print.

New 4CC (or 4CC+ as it is nicknamed) will be packed in film wrappers which give better protection to the paper, ensuring it is in perfect condition for use. The wrappers have re-sealable labels specially designed to make it easy to open and re-seal the reams.

In order to conform to user requirements the the 120gsm paper will replace 130gsm, 190gsm will change to 200 and 270gsm will will change to 280gsm.

The coated versions of 4CC which is available in Gloss and Silk coatings have also been upgraded. The paper have been made both whiter at 133 CIE (previously at 115 CIE) and stiffer.  This has resulted in outstanding runnability due the stiffness, and improved print contrast thanks to the whiter hue.

The respective thicknesses (weights) of the paper have also been altered to conform to the demand. The new uncoated premium 4CC comes in the following weights: 90, 100,120,160, 200, 220, 250, 280 and 300gm². The coated 4CC comes in 120,150,220 and 270gm². 4CC cards (coated and uncoated) of weights over 220gm² are produced in SRA3 size or larger but BookmarkDirect offer a cutting service to any dimensions required.

Both the coated and uncoated new 4CC are ideal for colour dry toner based print engines.
