Tecco launches 'world's first' PEFC-accredited proof paper

Paper producer Tecco has announced the development of what it claims to be the world's first PEFC-accredited proof paper, the EFI CertProof Paper 6225XF.

The grade is also certified with Fogra, Gracol and Swop, and it is designed for offset and gravure proofing.

It has been developed with Tecco's software partner EFI in response to a growing demand for environmentally friendly paper options.

According to the paper manufacturer, studies suggest print buyers will increase their commitment towards such initiatives, and that suppliers will have to work with more ecologically certified products in the future.

Tecco is based near Cologne and produces and converts uncoated and coated inkjet and laser paper, as well as print substrates.
