Finch Paper, Glens Falls, N.Y., USA, has introduced a new unique Inkjet Portfolio optimized for each of the major print segments: direct mail, books, and transaction/transpromo. Finch’s market-segment approach aligns with inkjet business’ needs — and contrasts with the "one size fits all" phenomenon in legacy paper markets.

 

"Finch Paper has garnered valuable insight from Inkjet Summit executives," said Greg Maio, VP of sales and marketing. "Finch’s product design and marketing expertise makes it easier for inkjet printers to optimize their own systems."

Finch seeks to set itself apart by providing domestic product and service solutions to help printers capitalize on their inkjet investments, the company notes. Finch’s comprehensive inkjet portfolio features innovative opacity along with proprietary surface treatments for dye-based and pigment inkjet web systems. Beyond maximizing ink density and dry time, Finch Paper has designed inkjet products with features best suited for the specific market application:

• Commercial Printing: Finch Inkjet Pi
• Direct Mail: Finch Mailstream
• Transactional: Finch Mailstream
• Books: Finch Smartbook Jet.

The Finch Mailstream family includes Finch Mailstream DS, Mailstream XP96, and Mailstream XP92 in an expansive range of 40-lb. text to 9-pt. reply. "Finch Mailstream One is a premium, treated sheet boasting higher ink densities for dye-based transactional applications," noted Maio. "While market disruptions are expected to continue, Finch is expanding our position as a sustainable, supply chain partner."
