Arena Extra White Smooth is an extremely versatile paper, excellent for deluxe publications, diaries, notebooks, boxes, greeting cards, paper binding, envelopes, calendars, catalogues, letterheads and writing papers, covers and magazines.

Varnishing and plastic laminating must be assessed in advance. The varnishing, coated with an offset machine, is almost fully absorbed and therefore does not improve gloss or protection. Screen-printing varnishing achieves better results, although it is often necessary to perform two shots to achieve a distinctly evident result. The surface roughness, typical of uncoated papers, may give rise to micro defects with plastic laminating caused by incomplete adhesion of the film to the substrate.

Good results with major processing operations such as cutting, die-cutting, scoring, folding and gluing. Can be used without problems with the main printing systems: letterpress, offset, blind embossing, hot foil stamping, thermography and screen printing. Ideal for use with oxidative drying inks due to the macro-porous surface of the paper. Good chromatic and tone performance: ink load, dot gain and printing contrast are at the highest level obtainable by uncoated papers.
