Resolute Forest Products, Montreal, Que., Canada, this week unveiled its Align™ family of high brightness, environmentally responsible papers that can be used as alternatives to chemical pulp coated and uncoated free sheet in most commercial printing applications. Typical free sheet papers are designed for brightness and use more trees and chemicals than are needed for most print applications, according to Resolute.
Align papers are made with up to 50% less wood fiber, Resolute notes, and have a smaller environmental footprint than traditional offset papers, including some containing recycled content. By delivering higher opacity and bulk at a lower basis weight than traditional free sheet, Align also helps reduce paper, postage, and transportation costs, the company adds.
"For several years, Resolute has seen growing demand for high-quality, eco-conscious papers that can reduce print costs," said Richard Garneau, president and CEO. "With our Align papers, customers can reduce fiber consumption and save money without sacrificing quality in their printed products. Align makes sense for their budgets and the environment."
Resolute also points out that traditional offset papers are designed to deliver both brightness and longevity, but at a premium price. With Align, it says, "value-conscious customers can choose from a range of bright, opaque, high-bulk papers that are designed to meet their specific needs."
More information about Resolute's Align papers, as well as how to order samples, is available online.
