Self-adhesive photo-paper Katana Matt Sticky 140

Matt-coated, self-adhesive paper, produced in Germany, at the highest industry standards.

This media is printable with all kinds of waterbased inks - pigment, dye, latex. Intense colours, uniform matt, regardless of the ink coverage, very good stability of the printed images - you can get all this for just a fraction of the cost of any Premium self-adhesive media.

Images come out of the printer touch-dry, but as there is no barrier layer between the coating and the paper base, in case of extreme ink loads, you can notice some slight paper cockling, due to the moisture penetration in the paper base. This effect is temporary and after short time, needed for the evaporation of the water, the media returns to it's original shape and flatness.

This media is very well suited for both hot and cold lamination, and it's self-adhesive property makes it very convenient, when it comes to post-production. Some customers use this paper for production of short series of unique packaging materials, also for scrap-booking, crafts and other art-techniques.

Applications:

• everyday photo-stickers with matt finish
• personalized hard covers for photobooks, albums, menus, books, reports
• Stickers, Labels, Crafts and Arts
• short-runs or prototypes for packaging and POS materials
• very useful for images, that should allow later writing on top with normal pens.

As a conclusion - an affordable, but good quality alternative to the Premium (RC) media, bright colours, uniform matt, plus the advantages of the natural, non-laminated paper base.
