Mondi, the international packaging and paper Group, will exhibit its wide range of professional paper solutions at the Drupa fair in Düsseldorf, Germany, from 31 May to 10 June.

What’s more, customers have peace of mind knowing that all Mondi papers are environmentally certified, so they have the best paper solutions combined with proven, environmentally sound production. We look forward to exhibiting at Drupa and showcasing our wide-ranging innovative paper solutions developed to meet the exacting needs of professional printers and the latest printing technologies.”

Sustainable. Every day.

Sustainability is one of the key drivers of Mondi’s business and will be a key topic for Drupa. All Mondi uncoated fine paper branded products are part of Mondi’s Green Range, meaning that they are FSC® or PEFC™ certified, 100% recycled or totally chlorine free bleached (TCF). Mondi continually invests in making its mills and production plants as energy efficient and sustainable as possible. For Mondi, sustainability makes good business sense - every day.

Mondi house at Drupa – innovations in touch with the emotions of paper

Mondi’s booth will show visitors both the technical and the emotional sides of the paper world. On the one hand, Mondi demonstrates its commitment to innovative paper solutions for the latest professional printing technologies with the Océ ColorStream 3000 Z high-speed digital inkjet printing press provided by Canon and the Mcor ARKe 3D printer. On the other hand, paper also conveys an emotional element through its shades and how it feels to the touch. One of the highlights of the booth is the Mondi ‘paper house’ reflecting Mondi’s one-stop paper manufacturer approach. In this house, visitors can feel at home, be well taken care of, discover the creative environment of an art gallery and personally experience a variety of paper haptics.

Innovative. Every day

“We are strongly committed to continuously developing our portfolio serving our customers’ needs. At the same time, we adapt our papers to the technology developments in the professional printing industry,” explains Johannes Klumpp. “Mondi and the Neusiedler mill are well known for innovative, high-quality papers produced in a sustainable way. Our clear dedication to quality leadership is demonstrated in one of our latest innovations in our premium hybrid segment.”

Under the slogan ‘one quality – one mill – one look’, Mondi Neusiedler sets a new quality reference guaranteeing hybrid offset, preprint and laser printing. Professional printers, creative agencies and end users will benefit from consistent print quality and one shade from 50 – 400 g/m² with DNS® premium, MAESTRO® extra and IQ premium.

Professional printing paper campaign ‘We have the perfect pape® for you’

At Drupa, Mondi will showcase its complete range of professional printing paper and board. The new Pro Paper campaign ‘We have the perfect pape® for you’ reflects Mondi’s approach to act as one-stop paper manufacturer for the professional printing industry. The Pro Paper portfolio encompasses all of Mondi’s paper optimised for the needs of professional printers with different printing technologies. Some of the most recent additions to Mondi’s portfolio for professional printers include:

  • NEUJET®, Mondi’s newest high-speed inkjet paper. The full NEUJET® portfolio will be presented at Drupa. It represents Mondi’s next generation of high-speed inkjet papers optimised for medium to heavy colour, direct mail, graphic arts and book printing applications. The portfolio is offered in two quality levels, standard and premium, and two surface finishes, matte and silk, closing the gap to coated offset printing.
  • PERGRAPHICA® design papers. PERGRAPHICA® is called ‘Paper for Perfectionists’ because it fulfils the most demanding requirements for sophisticated and elegant printed documents. Graphic designers, advertising agencies and fine book publishers are just a few of the creative industries that will appreciate PERGRAPHICA®’s variety of options: two textures (Rough and Smooth), three shades (High White, Classic and Natural) and six grammages between 90 and 300 g/m2. It is produced in Austria and FSC®and EU Ecolabel certified. PERGRAPHICA® is sold exclusively through Mondi’s long-term distribution partners Europapier (Austria and CEE), Papierunion/Inapa Group (Germany), Burgo Distribuzione (Italy), and Double V (Russia).

Live print demonstrations on Mondi paper

Visitors to Drupa can see Mondi paper in action on various printing equipment – both at the Mondi booth and at the booths of printing equipment manufacturers with which Mondi works closely. Mondi’s own booth will feature demonstrations on an Océ ColorStream 3000 Z high-speed digital inkjet printing press provided by Canon and featuring Hunkeler finishing equipment. Visitors can take with them print-outs on a variety of Mondi uncoated fine papers specifically tailored for high-speed inkjet printing. For example, NEUJET® as well as high-speed inkjet optimised DNS® and recycled paper NAUTILUS® will be demonstrated on the Canon printing press at the Mondi booth.

Throughout the Drupa fair grounds, several partner companies will be using Mondi papers in their live printing demonstrations: Canon (hall 8a booth B50), Domino (hall 5, booth A23), FujiFilm (hall 1, booth B19 and hall 8b, booth A25), Hewlett Packard (hall 17), Komori (hall 15, booth D4), Konica Minolta (hall 8b, booth A65), RISO (hall 5, booth C20), Screen (hall 8a, booth C11), Xanté (hall 5, booth D03), Xeikon (hall 8a, booth B20), and Xerox (hall 8b, booth A62).

X-Rite Pantone colour management master classes

In collaboration with X-Rite Pantone, Mondi will offer seminars on colour management before and during the Drupa fair. On 10 May, customers can take part in a Mondi webinar called ‘Colour Management in Practice’.

During the Drupa fair, Mondi and X-Rite Pantone, global leader in colour science and technology, will co-host several colour management master classes at the Mondi booth. X-Rite Pantone will present the theoretical part of the master class, which was developed in collaboration with Mondi and is based on ICC (International Colour Consortium) profiles customised to the company’s papers. Mondi colour experts will be on site for the live demonstrations – showing in particular the specific complexity when printing full colour with high-speed inkjet technology.

Mondi now also provides ICC profiles for different printing technologies and specifically for the Mondi paper portfolio. This is to ensure consistent colour performance on any Mondi paper and with any printing technology, making it even easier for professional printers to attain perfect print results quickly and efficiently.

Industry partnership in 3D printing completes Mondi’s offer

In addition, Mondi has partnered with Mcor, an innovative manufacturer of the world’s most affordable, full-colour, safe and eco-friendly 3D printers, on the development of paper optimised for Mcor 3D printers. Mcor recently launched the Mcor ARKe, the world’s first, full-colour, desktop 3D printer and at Drupa Mondi will feature the Mcor ARKe printing full colour paper 3D models. Mcor ARKe uniquely employs the global-standard ICC colour map to provide the industry’s most accurate, photorealistic colour 3D printing and was named Best of Innovation Awards Honoree in the 3D Printing Product category at the Consumer Electronics Show in January 2016.

Visit the Mondi booth at Drupa from 31 May to 10 June in hall 4, booth C21. Mondi’s team of paper experts looks forward to welcoming you and showing how Mondi offers more than you expect for professional printing. Every day.
