Mitsubishi HiTec Paper: Offering deinkable coated inkjet paper

Many paper grades that are printed with water-based inks are not deinkable, and cause problems in the recycling process. Mitsubishi HiTec Paper offers the solution in JETSCRIPT DL 9084: A deinkable, coated inkjet paper for use in commercial highspeed inkjet printing. The INGEDE certification validates this contribution by Mitsubishi HiTec Paper to environmental sustainability.

 
 

With the JETSCRIPT range, Mitsubishi HiTec Paper offers a broad portfolio of highquality, coated inkjet papers for high-speed inkjet printing. All products have a special ink receiving layer. Unlike uncoated or so-called "treated” papers, most of the ink is fixed in the coating, so does not penetrate deeply into the paper fibres. The ink receiving layer leads not only to product properties such as high optical density, but also to the fact that JETSCRIPT papers printed with water-based inks are deinkable.

In close cooperation with FOGRA and INGEDE, the International Association of the Deinking Industry, Mitsubishi HiTec Paper has conducted several de-inking tests. The result: JETSCRIPT DL 9084 has been INGEDE certified (INGEDE Method 11). This paper from Mitsubishi meets the requirements of the ERPC Scorecard and has received de-inking certificates for a number of water-based inks, which are used by digital printing machines such as Océ ColorStream, Kodak Versamark, Ricoh, InfoPrint and the HP T-Series.
