Mondi has launched BIO TOP 3® next, the latest product in the paper maker's ongoing expansion of its digital printing portfolio.

The BIO TOP 3® brand is recommended for applications ranging from office stationery to digital book printing. BIO TOP 3® next marks a new phase in the company’s hybrid printing papers developed for increased printer compatibility and a wider range of applications. Mondi plans to roll out a new BIO TOP 3® next marketing campaign by the end of 2011.

“We produce all BIO TOP 3® papers without any optical brightening agents; therefore, the paper retains its natural feel and whiteness level,” explains Johannes Klumpp Marketing and Sales Director for Mondi Uncoated Fine Paper.

“What is particularly unique to our new paper, BIO TOP 3® next, is its suitability for full colour image reproduction. We recently created a photo book for customers interested in using uncoated papers for digital image reproduction. Many were very surprised at the striking results of full colour printing with BIO TOP 3® next, given its natural haptic and natural white shade, which customers are accustomed to using for applications like book printing and stationery.”
