Super Calendered Paper – the most economical paper for magazine printing

Posted on 27/06/2018

Super Calendered paper is the most economical and competitive alternative to lightweight coated paper for the magazine printing process and publishing. It is commonly used for large-scale printing of publications such as, catalogues, newspaper inserts and advertising flyers. It is an uncoated groundwood paper that has been calendered for smoothness and glossiness to give it a bright, shiny finish.

Magazine Printing Process

Process of SuperCalendering?

magazine printing processIn paper manufacturing, calendering is the process of smoothing the surface of the paper by pressing it between hard pressure cylinders or rollers—the calendars—at the end of the papermaking process. It is usually the last step of the process before the paper is cut to standard sizes.

Calendering produces a smooth and glossy paper called Super Calendered paper or SC paper.

The Super-Calendered paper is a relatively new paper product. It was created to provide a high-quality, economical alternative to lightweight coated papers. Super Calendered papers have a high gloss and provide a high-quality surface for printing colour photos and fine-line images.

Uses of Super Calendered Paper

Magazine Publishing

The highest grade of Super Calendered paper is typically used in the magazine printing process.  It is the most economical paper and a true alternative to Lightweight Coated paper.

Newspaper Inserts & Direct Advertising Material

Lower grades of Super Calendered paper graded as such, due to their opacity and thinness) are, in the main, used to produce newspaper inserts and advertising materials, such as leaflets or pamphlets.

Grades of Super Calendered Paper

The Super Calendered paper comes in several grades: SC A+, SC A, and SC B. Although all SC papers are high-quality options for magazine and catalogue printing, the grades differ in finish and opacity. The SC A+ and SC A grade paper have a superior gloss compared to the other grades; these are more opaque and therefore cost more. The lower grade SC B is suitable for catalogues, special interest magazines, and advertising materials such as newspaper inserts and leaflets.
