G-Silk
G-Silk is a paradox. It is a coated matt paper for demanding image reproduction, yet with significant bulk and stiffness – and a low-reflecting surface which guarantees good readability. G-Silk has a smooth surface for reproduction of high-resolution photographs. Opacity, bulk and stiffness are very high compared to other silk and matt papers. It also has a rich paper feel, outstanding runnability and post-treatment properties. G-Silk is ideal for art books, covers, luxury magazines, Direct Mail, brochures, catalogues, folders, posters, inserts and cards. G-Silk is available both as sheets and reels in various sizes in grammages from 90 to 250 g/m².
G-Silk standard products are available as FSC® – The mark of responsible forestry. www.fsc.org. FSC-C007342 and PEFC – (Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification schemes). www.pefc.org. PEFC/05-33-98 certified.
