Palo Alto, Calif. – Jan. 17, 2013 – From the luscious textures to the myriad color choices, uncoated papers have long been a favorite among cutting-edge creatives. But there’s even more to get excited about these days thanks to the latest developments in papermaking and printing technologies.
“When we joined forces with Neenah Paper to revamp their CLASSIC line of swatchbooks, we got the chance to use uncoated paper in the most unconventional ways,” says Jake Lefebure, CEO and co-founder of Design Army, “transforming these popular tools of marketing into progressive works of art.”
Lefebure, along with uncoated-paper expert Tom Wright, senior director of Design at Neenah Paper, and Carrie Otto, print production manager for Neenah Paper, will lead PaperSpecs’ next free webinar, “Uncoated Paper: Reap the Marketing Rewards.”
These industry-leading experts will offer best-practice tips and tricks for creating files, give pointers on how and when to choose uncoated papers, and share some of today’s most visually exciting and successful examples of marketing materials printed on uncoated paper.
Here’s some of what attendees will hear during this inspirational and information-filled session:

How and When to Choose Uncoated
