    How it behaves in production

    • Very sensitive to climate: store and print at about 20 °C and 50% RH, acclimatise 24 h in its wrap
    • Avoid high humidity, heavy damping and IR drying; damping water pH about 6.0
    • Folds must run with the grain; double crease 200 g/m² to avoid cracking
    • Hard to cut: slightly blunted carbide blade, max 5 cm stack
    • 100 g/m² laser/inkjet only after testing; ink dries slowly and heat can distort
    • Embossing and folding turn the paper milky white at the edges
