Do sharper & bolder prints have to come at the expense of whiteness?
WHAT WE LOVE:
- Paper that is white and bright
- Prints that are sharp and vibrant with colors
BUT DID YOU KNOW?
- The additive that allows sharper & bolder prints suppresses the optical brightening agent used to make paper whiter…
- …leading to wastage of raw materials during the production process
