Kromekote (cast-coated paper)
Kromekote is the brand name of a legenday cast-coated paper.
Cast-coated
paper is a coated paper with a high-gloss finish. The name stems from the
manufacturing process: While the coating is still wet the paper is pressed
or cast against a polished, hot, metal drum. This ultra-smooth surface
and mirror-like gloss sets cast-coated sheets apart from ordinary coated
sheets. The paper sets up more quickly on press and delivers exceptional
print quality.
Cast-coated paper is heavy and expensive,
but very good looking.
