Cohoes, NY - May 27, 2009 - Mohawk Fine Papers, Inc. is proud to announce that the Kromekote Collection of papers is now certified by SmartWood for FSC standards and manufactured with windpower.

Kromekote's proprietary cast coating process has always been recyclable. Now, in response to increased demand from corporate America and the luxury brand market, this legendary cast coated paper with its superior printing surface has more environmental attributes to its credit.

FSC's chain-of-custody certification ensures that the fiber used to make Kromekote comes from responsibly managed forests. Additionally, as a new member of the Mohawk Fine Papers offering, the electricity used to manufacture Kromekote is offset with Green-e certified windpower renewable energy credits.

Kromekote is available in a vast array of finishes, textures, brilliant colors, metallics, and super heavy basis weights. Recognized as the finest coated printing paper, Kromekote's mirror-smooth, triple cast-coated surface is unequaled for ink holdout, ultra ink gloss and true-to-life photo reproduction. Suitable for any printing technique including color laser and HP Indigo, it is used for everything from premium product brochures, pocket folders and greeting cards to wine labels, retail packaging, shopping bags, and direct mail.
