This market segment includes metallizing, label grades,
ink jet, thermal print and those perfume sample grades
one finds in magazine ads. Label grades are usually
C1S and use some of the same manufacturing strategies
as coated woodfree. Most of these grades use woodfree
fiber almost exclusively. Most of them have requirements
related to their print specialty. Ink jet requires
a porous surface that will absorb and quickly capture
the ink to prevent it from wicking and fuzzing out
the print. High surface area pigments and cationically
treated pigments like the PCC and GCC based Astra-Jet
series are good pigments to use here. The cationic
treatment captures the dye and keeps it from spreading
and wicking.
