In the perfect combination of print quality, environmental attributes and cost-conscious sensibility, Finch Paper has unveiled Finch Premium Blend - a new premium uncoated text and cover paper that will be at the top of your must-try list this season.

Born of Collaboration
Finch pulled together a team of employees to bring the new product to market. After many hours of research and development, Finch arrived at an innovative blend of softwood, hardwood and postconsumer fibers artfully interwoven to create an exceptional print surface. While the finish is unmistakable to the touch, readers are enticed into the printed piece with remarkably smooth solids and vibrant images that simultaneously leap off the page.

"We challenged ourselves to achieve the perfect blend of print performance and environmental quality, and came up with the best Finch Paper ever made," said Anthony McDowell, vice president of sales and marketing. "Finch Premium Blend will make a real statement in the text and cover marketplace, and further establishes Finch's position as the value leader in uncoated printing papers."

A Balance of Attributes
Premium Blend is not only expertly crafted to deliver phenomenal print performance on its velvety-smooth surface, it's made with 30 percent postconsumer fiber and certified to meet the responsible forestry standards of both the Forest Stewardship Council and the Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI) program.

Designers and printers will find further satisfaction - and client adoration - in Premium Blend's more-than-competitive pricing. Like all Finch products, Premium Blend is priced especially for today's cost-cutting environment, and backed by Finch Paper's deep environmental commitment and legendary customer service.

Available in White with a 99 brightness, and in a Soft White shade for more subdued yet equally stunning 4-color or black-and-white reproduction, Finch Premium Blend is an ideal choice for corporate reports, marketing collateral, premium catalogs, art books, college viewbooks and newsletters. It's available in a full range of sizes, and in basis weights ranging from 70 lb. text to 110 lb. double-thick cover.

From a Sustainable Family
Finch Paper is widely recognized for the quality of its uncoated printing papers, its industry-leading customer service, and its commitment to sustainable forestry. In additional to Finch Premium Blend, Finch Fine text and cover, Finch Casa Opaque, Finch Opaque and the Finch Digital portfolio are popular choices for corporate marketing materials, direct mail, book publishing, and business office use.

All Finch Premium Blend, Finch Fine and Finch Casa Opaque products are Forest Steward Council (FSC) Chain-of-Custody Certified; and all of the fiber utilized by Finch Paper across its product line is certified by the Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI) program.

As part of a landmark environmental partnership with The Nature Conservancy (TNC), Finch foresters manage more than 160,000 acres of forestland owned by TNC in New York's famed Adirondack Region.
