This depends on your needs. What am I going to produce? Do I need a paper for high impact where perceived value is important, or is an everyday paper satisfactory? Do I want a green option?

LOGIC is a manufacturer brand and that means all aspects of its production are controlled by M-real. As the manufacturer, we have strict controls that ensure every ream of paper is of the same high quality as the last. The M-real reputation as a leading paper maker depends on it.

No. Paper is now designed to give outstanding results on inkjet and laser technologies. There is no need for a specialist paper unless it’s for photography.

As for many everyday products, you need choice depending on your expectations and objectives. LOGIC 300 is ideal for cost-effective volume use. LOGIC Eco is similar to LOGIC 300 in terms of performance, but is 75% recycled paper so is a greener choice. LOGIC 500 is ideal for everyday communications, both internal and external. LOGIC Image the paper for high impact jobs, particularly when using colour images. LOGIC papers are guaranteed for use on all office equipment.

Unused paper should be kept in its original packaging and kept out of direct sunlight wherever possible. It should also be protected from high variations in humidity and temperature.

LOGIC Eco gives you an environmental option for your internal and volume jobs. More people want to improve their environmental performance and LOGIC Eco is a way to help organisations achieve this.

There is no known direct correlation between whiteness levels and print quality, although a high whiteness level does provide more contrast between printed colours and the paper. The printing quality is a combination of print technology, the printer and its settings, paper quality and the image or text being printed.

LOGIC Image is ideal for a complete stationery range

The best print result is obtained by a combination between factors such as paper quality, printer type, printing technology (laser or inkjet), software, printer settings and even choice of the motif or subject.
As the easiest to test and to change is the paper, its choice is very important, together with the appropriate printer settings.

LOGIC Papers are produced on modern paper machines, which make the differences between the paper sides minimal. The print quality is equally good on each side of the paper and it does not matter which way you put it in the printer. It is only when using coated papers that this becomes an issue.

ISO 9706 is the international standard that guarantees paper for archiving. Paper accredited with the ISO 9706 logo has been manufactured to remain in good condition for many years, making is particularly suitable for financial, legal and other important documents.

It’s made from 75% recovered paper. The recycled paper is collected from offices and schools after use. This means it is diverting waste paper from landfill.

It is one of the whitest recycled papers around. Its whiteness is comparable to LOGIC 300.

M-real supports and promotes forest certification as a good tool for proving that wood raw material has been sourced from sustainably managed forests.

The FSC is an international non-profit organisation that support environmentally appropriate, socially beneficial, and economically viable management of the world’s forests. They set guidelines for forestry management, assess practices and issue certification to those operations that conform to FSC standards. Landowners and suppliers are then able to label their wood and wood products as “certified wood” and to use the FSC trademark logo.

Yes, the wood is sourced from European sustainable forests.

Yes. All LOGIC papers are produced in mills certified to ISO 14001, the international standard for environmental management systems.

A fresh flow of primary fibres is necessary to guarantee the supply of raw material and the functionality of paper and board products. Some fibres are lost in every turn of recycling; the length, strength and bonding properties dramatically change for the worse.

Yes, appropriate packaging is necessary. Although it uses additional resources and adds to the cost, packaging can prevent waste and save money.

Paper broke is the waste from the paper making process. It never leaves the mill and is not considered true recycled paper as it has not been used. Recovered paper is waste paper that has been collected from end users. It is then processed and cleaned to be become true recycled paper.
