Mohawk Fine Papers Adds New i-Tone Papers for HP Indigo Printers
Thursday 13. November 2008 - In June of this year, Mohawk Fine Papers Inc. [Graph Expo Booth #1371] became one of only nine companies in the world to be named an HP Indigo Preferred Partner for HP Indigo Digital presses. This program, created by HP, marks a new level of communication and collaboration between Hewlett Packard and its suppliers to help HP Indigo customers grow their business.
To be recognized as an HP top-flight partner, Mohawk had to demonstrate the ability to provide superior products, service and support with regional and global presence, as well as exhibiting environmental responsibility.
Mohawks proprietary i-Tone family of papers also played a key role in achieving this prestigious status. “The i-Tone surface treatment was developed in our labs to ensure consistently superior on-press print performance. HP and the fast-growing community of HP Indigo printers recognize our efforts to support the digital print market and together we are all achieving remarkable growth in this area,” says Chris Harrold, Vice President, Market Development, Emerging Print Technologies.
In further support of its new Preferred Partner status and its HP Indigo customers, Mohawk continues to expand its product lines and offerings for HP Indigo printing.
New Line Extensions
Mohawk Color Copy Premium with i-Tone: Mohawk has again expanded its industry-preferred Mohawk Color Copy line with this important new product. New Mohawk Color Copy Premium with i-Tone is a 100 bright, Neon White, FSC-certified paper that offers digital printers the brightest, smoothest sheet available for every type of digital press including HP Indigo digital presses.
Mohawk Options 100% PC White with i-Tone: FSC-certified Options 100% PC White with i-Tone incorporates Mohawks proprietary i-Tone surface for peak performance on the entire family of HP Indigo presses. In addition, this product is offered in a range of basis weights from 80 text through new heavier cover weights including 130 double-thick cover. “This new product is made with 100% post consumer recycled fiber and represents a new benchmark for environmental papers for the HP Indigo,” says Harrold.

All of Mohawks i-Tone papers are available in standard digital sizes as well as the new 19×13 sheet size that has been added for the latest generation of digital presses.
