HSP lifts lid on new FSC paper

Howard Smith Paper has unveiled a new uncoated paper which will be Forest Stewardship Council certified and contain 50% recycled fibre.

Think4 is a range of uncoated papers suitable for four-colour printing, produced by Scottish firm Tullis Russell, that will launch in July and be exclusive to the merchant.

The grade will be pitched as a competitor to Arctic Paper's Munken Lynx grade, on which Howard Smith previously had exclusivity.

The Norwich-based fine art printer, part of the Saxon Group, scooped a gold award in the books category for Reflections, took the regional award for the Midlands, and finally the chairman's award for print.
