Dutch paper mill Crown Van Gelder developed a new book paper for Barack Obama’s memoir ‘A Promised Land’.
Crown van Gelder is honoured to supply the paper for Barack Obama’s 768 page book. We developed a special creamy paper which only weighs 45 Lb (66 g/m2) but still has a very high opacity and very little ‘show through’. The paper can be printed in Offset, but is also available in a quality for High Speed Inkjet printing ; one of our world famous specialties.
