Oct 20, 2005. /Lesprom Network/. While everybody is talking about brightness, Cascades' ST Generation II is talking about print quality! Isn't that the most important aspect of paper to your customer? ST Generation II now has a swatchbook to display its features: print quality, paper quality and visual quality; all that in an uncoated Opaque sheet, with a unique surface treatment. In a few words, ST Generation is the new generation of Opaque. With a different feel from that of coated and uncoated papers, it minimizes dot gain, requires less ink, and does not mark like a coated paper. It produces clear and sharp images with bright and rich colors. ST Generation II is available in 50 lb. to 80 lb., in a range of sizes, along with a non-surface treated matching cover, but with the same brightness and smoothness. It contains 30% post-consumer fibre, is accredited EcoLogo and made with Biogas Energy.
