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
