  • Very rapid absorption and very good stacking properties
  • Ideally suited for rapid turning and quick further processing
  • High dampening solution tolerance
  • Good gloss
  • Rapid adjustment of a stable ink/water balance
  • Very suitable for infra-red radiation drying
  • Good rub resistance
