About ECF Fibre

Tant Select TS-1 is manufactured from 100% virgin ECF (Elemental Chlorine Free) fibre. ECF means elemental chlorine gas is not used during pulp bleaching. This is distinct from totally chlorine-free (TCF) or unbleached production. The paper is paper-based and suitable for recycling where local facilities accept embossed speciality paper.

Printing & Finishing

Tant Select TS-1 is suited to a wide range of printing and finishing methods. At 116gsm it feeds well through most home inkjet printers — use a manual or rear feed tray, select a premium-paper setting, and print a test sheet first. Dark brown, burgundy, navy and black contrast well with the warm cream base.

For professional finishing, Tant Select TS-1 is well suited to:

• Lithographic printing
• Office inkjet printing
• HP Indigo (with Sapphire treatment)
• Silk-screen printing
• Blind embossing and die-stamping
• Letterpress
• Hot-foil blocking

A few things worth knowing: large solid ink areas may show variation over the emboss — this is part of the paper’s character. Allow inkjet ink to dry before stacking. Laser printing is possible but worth testing, as heat and roller pressure may slightly flatten the texture.
