Stone Paper Glossary
Plain-language definitions for the terms that come up when specifying stone paper and print substrates — grouped by what they describe.
Stone Paper & Material Terms
9 termsWhat stone paper is made of and how Flexstone is organised: calcium carbonate and resin, FS / FM / FG density series, coating codes and comparison substrates.

Printing Process Terms
10 termsThe processes that print on stone paper — eco-solvent, latex and wide-format UV inkjet, UV-curable press inks, offset, flexo, screen and gravure, HP Indigo and dry toner — and what each one requires from the coating and the heat resistance of the substrate.
