Pebble Printing Releases First Stone Paper Compatible with Inkjet

According to Pebble Printing Group, its new release, namely Pebble Paper, is the first version of stone paper to be compatible with water-based inkjet printing inks.

“This is a milestone in stone paper development, and enables a new level of competitiveness and performance for stone material,” said Hunter Bliss (pictured), the founder of Pebble Printing Group.

Pebble Printing claims that Pebble Paper is manufactured along with the same principles of stone paper production, using approximately 80% calcium carbonate (CaCO3) and 20% high-density polyethylene (HDPE). It retains the same uncompromising sustainability of no trees or water used in production, less energy consumed, fewer CO2 emissions, and elimination of all poisonous chemicals.

“The big difference between Pebble Paper™ and previous versions of stone paper is the surface treatment. Pebble Paper™ uses a proprietary coating especially designed for water-based inks. Its quick-drying and low dot gain properties make it a competitive material for traditional coated inkjet papers,” said the spokesman of the company.

Some advantages of Pebble Paper include:

• High whiteness without OBAs
• Waterproof
• Tear-resistant
• Uses no trees or water
• Requires 50% less energy to produce
• Produces less CO2 emissions than traditional paper
• Higher recyclability than PE coated inkjet papers
• Does not yellow with time
• No poisonous chemicals used in the production
• No hazardous pollution generated
