Color Copy, the premium paper from Mondi for laser and inkjet printing, is celebrating its 35th anniversary. Since its introduction in 1989, Color Copy has become an essential part of any digital print project, from business documents and marketing materials to creative products. This premium digital colour printing paper offers perfect print quality, high colour brilliance and excellent detail retention. In honour of this anniversary, Mondi has expanded the product range to include additional Color Copy papers for high-speed inkjet printing on reel stock. Color Copy is also a pioneer of sustainability. It was the first digital printing paper to earn FSCTM certification and Cradle to Cradle Certified® Bronze level. Color Copy further meets all EU Ecolabel criteria. Mondi strives to reduce emissions generated in production and has slashed greenhouse gas emissions by 45% Group-wide since 2004. While the remaining CO2 emissions are unavoidable at this time, Mondi has offered the option of compensating for them when purchasing Color Copy since as far back as 2010.
Off the reel
Color Copy is suitable for a range of digital printing applications, and more were added over the years as new formats, weights and optimisations were introduced, including A4 and a number of digital printing formats.
In addition to Color Copy original in sheet format, Mondi now offers three new Color Copy papers off the reel for high-speed inkjet printing applications:
- Color Copy original (inkjet reels): The smooth, high white, uncoated high-speed inkjet reels are ideally suited to commercial printing, including books and manuals. The paper is available in grammages of 70 to 160 g/m². Its low bulk of 1.1 makes it ideal for thin manuals.
