ELECTRONIC PRINTING GUARANTEE:

Mohawk Color Copy cut size papers that are denoted by an ‘E’ symbol are guaranteed to run in office copiers, laser printers or digital color production presses within the limits determined by the equipment manufacturer. The three uncoated papers (Premium, 98 and 100% Recycled) are also suitable for use on desktop ink jet printers. Both coated and uncoated Mohawk Color Copy papers are perfectly suited for small-format offset and DI presses.

Because machine specifications for paper thickness, surface (coated vs. uncoated) and sheet sizes vary widely between equipment brands, Mohawk encourages testing paper on your particular printer before committing to a large program. Samples are readily available from the mill.

The Mohawk electronic printing guarantee is limited to replacement cost of the paper only and is void if using paper outside of your manufacturer’s recommended paper specifications for weight, size and/or finish. All claims are subject to Mohawk Fine Papers Inc. complaint handling procedures and policies.

HANDLING:

Keep Mohawk Color Copy Ultra Gloss products wrapped until the moment of printing. It is essential to let the paper acclimate, for a minimum of 24 hours – longer during cold weather – in the press room while still wrapped in mill packaging. Keep Mohawk Color Copy Ultra Gloss products covered during drying, between passes and prior to any finishing work. Pressroom conditions should be as close as possible to 70 degrees, and 40-50% relative humidity.

VARNISH:

Dull or matte varnish and dull or matte aqueous coating are recommended as a surface protector.

FOLDING AND SCORING:

For best results, 100lb. text papers and all cover weights should be scored before they are folded. Folds against the grain, gatefolds, and folds running throughout heavily inked areas should also be scored. As a general rule of thumb, the correct creasing channel is determined by multiplying the paper’s caliper by two and then adding the width of the creasing rule. (Note each 1 pt. of rule equals .014 inch). Mohawk recommends a minimum 2 pt. rule for all scores both with and against the grain. Sometimes a wider score must be added – but too much width can be worse than too little, causing the sheet to fold unevenly on one side of the score rather than the center. A double, parallel score can be used to keep it straight.
