As with any printing papers, PaperTyger printing papers should be allowed to become fully acclimated to pressroom conditions before attempting to use them. PaperTyger papers are manufactured to a relative humidity of 42-50% @ 72°F / 22°C.

As relative humidity is a function of temperature, the first step is to be sure paper reaches the temperature of the pressroom before opening any packages, cartons, or skids. Use this paper conditioning chart as a guideline for how long, e.g. cold paper might need to reach the temperature inside the pressroom.

“Synthetic Papers” are referred to as that because they’re plastic. PaperTyger durable papers, on the other hand, are manufactured with real coated and uncoated papers, providing the toughness of a synthetic sheet with benefits. Discover how they compare.

During these unprecedented times, we’re taking all appropriate precautions to limit our exposure to COVID-19. For essential businesses and services that remain open, it’s imperative to step up safety precautions. This includes sectors such as manufacturing, retail and community services that continue to operate during the active pandemic. It’s their responsibility to ensure employees and customers are politely reminded to follow these safety measures at all times too. This means directional signage and safety markings have now become a necessity.
