sappi
a million reasons to matter
Each year, through its Ideas that Matter program, Sappi donates $1 million to designers around the world to fund projects for non-profit organizations of their choice - and this year is no exception. Sappi is calling for entries from designers who "share our commitment to the power of ideas in print and who want to use their creative talents to support the causes that matter most to them." May 31 is the deadline, with grants awarded in August. Sappi will award grants of up to $50,000 for each project honored, to cover both implementation costs of winning print programs and out-of-pocket expenses. Proposals will be reviewed by an independent selection committee of top graphic designers and representatives from leading philanthropic organizations.

gruppo
three special papers for creatives
Gruppo Cordenons, an Italian-based manufacturer of fine, specialty and technical papers for the global market, is introducing three new paper grades especially for creatives: Icedream, a very special coated paper with a soft, sparkling effect; Strike, with six dazzling colors and combining the handmade elegance of a felt-marked surface with the sophisticated, glittering surface of a metalized and pearlescent mica-coated sheet; and Plike (from "plastic-like"), a surprising, avant-garde, acid-free product with a plastic effect. Shown here is a promotion regarding Plike, whose special surface treatment gives printing results that cannot be achieved with uncoated papers. The product is available in a range of colors, and can be used for all applications typical of text and cover.
