- A new lineup of colors created to harmonize with the feltmarked paper

 

The lineup consists of six color themes based on the visual
and tactile impression conveyed by MERMAID’s gentle,
wavelike feltmark—innocent, organic, japanesque, POP,
formal, and classic. All 60 colors are rich, contemporary,
and easy-to-use.

 

- Three weights available for the entire lineup of 60 colors

 

You can choose from three weights for 1091 x 788 mm S/G—128gsm,
178gsm, and 279gsm—for all 60 colors in the lineup.
This allows for a wide range of uses, including combining
different weights of the same color paper.

 

The new ream weight 279gsm is ideal for rigid boxes and cards.

 

White paper product options have become more versatile,
with nine weights for 1091 x 788 mm S/G—from 81gsm to
407gsm—as well as options for 939 x 636 mm S/G.

 

- Acid-free*

 

MERMAID comes in many colors that are acid-free,
offering excellent preservation because it does not use chemicals,
such as aluminum sulfate and alum, that are significant factors
contributing to paper degradation. Acid-free MERMAID paper is
ideally suited to long-term storage because it is made with
high-quality pulp and resists creasing well.

 

 

* Acid-free (TAKEO definition):	Paper whose manufacturing procedure does
	not involve adding aluminum sulfate or alum. Of the 60 MERMAID colors available, 49 are acid-free. The following colors are not acid-free: iwai-beni, black, coffee beans, chocolat, deep sea, dark safari, NEO citron, NEO pink, NEO flamingo, cordoba brown, and royal violet.
