Spicers has launched a new photo quality stock, E-Photo Lustre for HP Indigo printers and its first synthetic range for digital dry toner print.

Roger Rankine, national sales manager for digital media at Spicers, says, “E-Photo Lustre for HP Indigo printers is dust and water resistant, giving it all the qualities of traditional photo paper. It is perfect for creating photo books and cookbooks that need to be presented on a high quality, photographic paper.

“This affordable range of satin-matt PE coated finish is HP Indigo certified, meaning it has undergone rigorous testing and comes with the confidence of HP Indigo Certification. The range has excellent colour reproduction and printable on both sides. The E-Photo Lustre stock comes in 190 and 260 gsm and is PEFC certified.”

The company’s new Pacesetter DigiSyn is the first PET synthetic grade from Spicers available in a complete range of weights for dry toner digital printing. Rankine says, “Normally, printers would need to offset print onto a synthetic grade with special inks. But with Pacesetter DigiSyn, small, cost effective and flexible runs via dry toner digital printing are now possible.

“Pacesetter DigiSyn is a tear proof, water, oil and weather resistant grade that can be used in dry toner printers. It is great for point of sale pieces, posters, shelf wobblers and books. Thicknesses include 130, 155, 205 and 280 micron. The grade has been designed to complement the current synthetic grades stocked by Spicers for HP Indigo, wide format and offset printing.”
