He added that "this high-performance, uncoated paper works on multiple inkjet platforms, making it ideal for many applications. It is giving our customers a high-quality, high-value choice for full color inkjet presses. And it’s made and stocked in the U.S. to ensure quick delivery for customers."
Appleton Coated’s inkjet product manager, Amy Ambos, added that "we are supporting Ethos Enhanced Inkjet by stocking 50, 60, 70, and 80 lb Text in addition to the 7-pt and 9-pt covers already in stock.
