GF Smith has launched Cromtico Digital, which it said is the first tracing paper adapted to print on HP Indigo presses.

The FSC-certified paper is a result of the paper merchant's research that revealed a gap in the market.

Robert Mannix, GF Smith business development manager, said the grade has been produced with a specific treatment on the paper machine.

He said: "This gives it an excellent ink adhesion and outstanding print rendering.

"Opaque silver strips at the ends of each sheet activate the optical cells in HP Indigo presses."

Mannix added that HP Indigo presses in particular have struggled with printing on translucent papers, because the optical feed sensors do not detect clear sheets in the feed tray.

Cromático Digital is available in 110, 150 and 200gsm and is guaranteed for use on all 3050, 5000, 5500 and 7000 HP Indigo presses.
