Thinner and lighter in weight than its conventional equivalent, Primabrite is becoming the industry standard when a large volume of text needs to be printed in a confined space.

benefits

Primabrite allows printers to create highly legible documents - even those with demanding amounts of text - in a small space thanks to its superior whiteness and high levels of opacity. Offered in a selection of shades and finishes, Primabrite is made for multi-fold operations and provides superior on-press run-ability.
