Not every project can move from print to the web. But that doesn’t mean you have use tree-fiber-based paper to get the job done. Yupo is a Japanese company that invented synthetic paper a surprising number of years ago (like 30), and now produces a large range of weights and sizes for commercial printing of all kinds. It’s bright white, printing appears especially crisp, and the “paper” is 100% recyclable. Oh yes, it’s completely waterproof–perhaps the perfect material for printing a tourist’s guide to Seattle in the summer.
