With the launch of the new jetscript Metal VPG 1018, Mitsubishi HiTec Paper has unveiled a metallic silver gloss inkjet paper, developed for water-based inkjet printing. It is particularly suitable for self-adhesive label applications, as well.

According to Mitsubishi HiTec Paper, the results on the metallic glossy inkjet labels were only previously possible using a metallic film. Jetscript Metal VPG 1018 is a pure fiber-based paper product with a metallic mirror finish and a transparent, microporous inkjet coating for excellent printing performance.

The main features are:

• 110 gsm
• metallic-silver mirror finish
• high print density
• fast drying
• suitable for water-based inkjet printing (dye and pigment inks)
• compatible with latex inks
• optimum performance in the self-adhesive production process (handling, labelling, matrix removal)
