Appleton Coated’s PrintUtopia spotlights Matte papers

PrintUtopia, the paper-centric educational series from Appleton Coated, shares “A New Look at Matte” with print and creative professionals.

This informative piece describes the greater opacity and enhanced readability, higher caliper and affordability for practical requirements, and tactility and softer dot to elicit an emotional connection with the recipient. Illustrating these qualities, six matte choices from the Utopia brand of coated printing papers are showcased in a range of shades, weights and environmental options.

Matte selections in U1X:Green and U2:XG are certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) and contain extra post-consumer recovered fiber (20% and 30% respectively). These environmentally friendly papers are acid-free and elemental chlorine-free, and manufactured with Green Power, electricity provided from renewable energy sources.
