    Indigo presses are digital, not digital offset. Offset presses use plates to make an impression, Indigo printers do not. Digital offset presses are run without film, i.e. you can go directly from computer to plate without films having to be made.

    From what I understand, Indigo presses can only run papers that are formed specifically for such a print process.

    Mohawk Superfine has Indigo grades. I've printed on 100# cover, it came out great. 100# uncoated cover is thicker than coated 100#, so i'd imagine you could run a coated cover up to 120#.

    • gramme speaketh the truth, all swatch books have guides to what processes the papers will work with.ian
