Supercalendered paper

Supercalendered paper(SC paper), is a type of paper that is treated with special processing techniques. The core process lies in the supercalendering process, which, through the action of high pressure and high temperature, results in an extremely smooth and glossy paper surface, similar to a mirror effect. This type of paper is usually made from high-quality wood pulp, which undergoes a delicate papermaking process and is then subjected to a number of super-calendering treatments in order to achieve the desired physical properties and visual effects.

Features

1. High gloss: The most significant feature of supercalendered paper is its surface with extremely high gloss, close to that of plastic film or a slight mirror effect, which makes the printed matter more vivid in colour and richer in image details.
2. High smoothness: after the super calendering treatment, the paper surface is exceptionally smooth, without obvious fibre protrusions, providing an ideal substrate for high-quality printing.
3. Good printing suitability: Due to its unique physical properties, supercalendered paper is able to withstand high-precision and high-density printing requirements, and is particularly suitable for fine patterns and photo-quality printing.
4. Strength and durability: Compared with ordinary paper, supercalendered paper has higher strength and friction resistance, and is less likely to tear or wear out, which prolongs the service life of printed materials.
5. Limited ink absorption: In order to maintain a high gloss level, supercalendered papers have relatively low ink absorption, which means that the ink may take longer to dry on the paper surface, but at the same time ensures colour saturation and clarity.

Applications

1. High-end printed materials: such as high-grade magazines, picture books, catalogues, calendars, etc., which need to display exquisite pictures and delicate text, supercalendered paper can greatly enhance the visual effect and tactile sensation.
2. Packaging materials: Especially for products with high requirements on packaging appearance, such as cosmetic boxes, luxury packaging, gift boxes, etc., the high-grade feeling and glossiness of supercalendered paper can effectively enhance the image of the products.
3. advertising and promotional materials: for posters, brochures, exhibition boards, etc., where eyeballs need to be attracted, the high brightness and colour reproduction ability of supercalendered paper can effectively attract the audience's attention.
4. Artwork reproduction: For artwork reproduction, such as painting and calligraphy reproduction, photography portfolio, etc., supercalendered paper can better reproduce the texture and colour of the original artwork to meet the needs of collection and viewing.
