How Magno Web performs on quality, performance and sustainability – backed by real-world data
What do the latest test results say about choosing the best paper for your next important print job?
Earlier this year, Sappi conducted real-world tests to compare the performance of Mago Web with two of its main competitors. The results were clear and conclusive – Magno came out top-of-the-class.
Both Magno Web Gloss and Magno Web Silk outperform their competitors in bulk, stiffness and opacity – as well as consistency over the full range of grammages. Meanwhile, the papers match the usual high Sappi standards for printability and durability as well as runnability on heatset web offset presses.
Customer satisfaction
What does this mean for your customers? It means end print products offering a premium feel alongside superb colours and excellent readability.
But don’t just take our word for it, check out what one of Germany’s leading print companies has to say.
“With Magno Web, we can rely on being able to produce premium quality print products for our customers, on-budget and on-time – time after time,” says Frank Haneke, Team Leader Product Safety at Mohn Media in Gütersloh. “These test results align with our own findings and confirm our confidence in Magno Web as our first-choice paper for heatset web offset.”
The sustainability difference
Meanwhile, Magno Web papers are now being produced at Sappi’s renowned Kirkniemi mill in Finland – meaning that key grammages are being made at what could be the most sustainable paper mill in Europe.
At Kirkniemi, state-of-the-art facilities came into operation last year – with a switch from fossil fuels to biofuels, such as locally sourced wood chips and bark, resulting in a massive 90% cut in direct fossil greenhouse gas emissions (Scope 1 emissions).
Further sustainability efforts have seen Kirkniemi also eliminate its emissions associated with energy purchased from outside sources (Scope 2), thanks to a changeover to clean electricity.
At the same time, serious sustainability investments are also bearing fruit at Sappi’s Gratkorn mill, which produces the other Magno Web grammages.
Here, the mill has made big progress in its switch to renewable energy with the inauguration of a new biomass feed – meaning Gratkorn has now reduced its carbon footprint by 30%, with the use of biomass residues for energy boosting its use of renewable energy to levels above 56%.
The data has spoken – and it’s loudly proclaiming the wide-ranging benefits of choosing Magno Web.
