Description
Kallima® Direct Print is a fully bleached
linerboard with a single-coated topside. Kallima®
Direct Print’s low bulk-to-weight ratio provides a higher caliper of linerboard
for the equivalent basis weight covering flutelines and reducing washboarding.
Kallima® Direct Print’s superior smoothness
ensures superior printability. Its exceptionally smooth surface reduces dot-gain,
permits the use of higher ink densities and eliminates mottling. Finally, Kallima®
Direct Print’s higher brightness provides a greater visual impact and more
accurate color reproduction.
End Use
The smooth print surface of Kallima® Direct Print
is ideally suited for process and line work on presses with limited drying capacity.
Kallima® Direct Print is recommended for high-quality
direct printing on flexo and is ideal for point-of-purchase displays and high-quality
corrugated cartons.
