JOHANNESBURG, SOUTH AFRICA—  Sappi has expanded into the book papers with a new Galerie range that it billed as “a complete book paper solution” spanning heatset, coldset and digital printing. The first two products are Galerie Book Creamy, which comes in weights of 52, 55 and 60gsm. Bulk specifications are 1.8, 2.0 and 2.2. High-bulk variant Galerie Book Creamy Bulk is 52gsm with 2.3 bulk “for enhanced opacity and improved feel”. Sappi plans to add Galerie Book White at a future date. Sappi claims the move had come about due to customer demand for reliable, sustainable and versatile book paper options. Sappi said the papers have been specifically engineered to perform consistently across multiple printing methods including heatset, coldset and digital printing. The new Galerie Book papers are made at Sappi’s Kirkniemi Mill in Finland.
