Description

Kallima® Preprint is a fully bleached linerboard with a double coated topside. Kallima® Preprint’s low bulk-to-weight ratio provides a higher caliper of linerboard for the equivalent basis weight covering flutelines and reducing washboarding. Kallima® Preprint’s superior smoothness ensures superior printability. Its exceptionally smooth surface reduces dotgain, permits the use of higher ink densities and eliminates mottling. Finally, Kallima® Preprint’s higher brightness provides a greater visual impact and more accurate color reproduction.

End Use

Kallima® Preprint is ideal for high-impact graphic applications, and is recommended for high-quality preprinting on flexo or litho presses.
