pretex® inkjet – For nautical insights and much more!

Lahnpaper introduce high-end-pretex®. Full steam ahead!

Lahnpaper have for many years produced pretex®, a high-quality, impregnated special paper for those specific cases where normal paper just isn’t robust enough. In the world of maps pretex® has been widely used for the last two decades and is considered by many map publishers and printers as the benchmark substrate for demanding map situations.

pretex®: Perfect guiding qualities!

Special paper pretex®: weather-resistant, robust, durable

For specialized outdoor maps and charts (hiking, mountaineering, nautical, military, etc.), pretex® offers far superior properties in terms of water resistance, resistance to aggressive handling and general durability.

Perhaps uniquely for a synthetic, it also offers trouble-free printability particularly in litho, where standard inks can be used, as well as digital. Folding is also very straightforward, both automatically and manually.

WE HAVE THE KNOW-HOW

THE CHALLENGE: SPECIAL COATING ON ONE SIDE

A major UK nautical chart producer took the decision over a year ago to move completely from traditional litho printing to digital. HP Pagewide was the chosen solution, but as a 100% committed pretex® user, a one-side only coated version was needed. Hitherto, pretex® was available only in 2-side coated (standard 50.) or uncoated (copy+laser 30) versions.

THE SOLUTION: pretex® 40.150 by Lahnpaper

Lahnpaper therefore designed pretex® 40.150 as their technical response; the same 120g base paper with all its advantages, but with a 30g ink jet- receptive coating designed specifically for their new equipment. The product is now firmly established with the customer; short (50 m length) reels also pose no issue to Lahnpaper. 

THE FUTURE: VARIOUS APPLICATIONS

The new pretex® is a hi-tech version of a well-tried and extremely successful synthetic paper for a growing variety of applications:

  • technical applications
  • technical documentation
  • advertising
  • special envelopes 
  • tickets for events
  • industrial labelling 
  • coupons 
  • etc.

LAST BUT NOT LEAST

pretex® carries FSC environmental certification
