Curious Collection Digital Papers with i-Tone

In its latest expression of support for the HP Indigo printer community, Mohawk, North America’s largest privately-owned manufacturer of fine papers, envelopes, and specialty substrates for commercial and digital printing, announces the expansion of its digital fine paper portfolio with the launch of the new Curious Collection Papers Digital with i-Tone.

In May of 2015, Mohawk and Arjowiggins Creative Papers announced a groundbreaking strategic alliance. With this first-of-its-kind partnership in the fine paper industry, two world-class paper manufacturers agreed to share manufacturing facilities, expertise and proprietary technologies. Arjowiggins and Mohawk are like-minded fine paper manufacturers with legendary brands that have driven the fine paper segment for over a century. The companies share core values of heritage, innovation, operational excellence, craftsmanship, safety-focused manufacturing, environmental commitment and social responsibility.

Marking the next milestone in the alliance, Mohawk is excited to announce the launch of new Curious Collection Digital with i-Tone papers designed for digital print applications and manufactured by Arjowiggins Creative Papers. These new products feature Mohawk’s proprietary i-Tone surface chemistry designed to enhance ink/toner adhesion and improve runnability on digital presses. Available exclusively through Mohawk in North America, these new products are extraordinary papers designed to provide saturated color, unique appearance or unusual texture.
