Mohawk Celebrates 70th anniversary of Superfine

Print Solutions

In 1946, in Cohoes, New York, innovative papermakers at Mohawk was creating a new product called Mohawk Superfine. For seven decades since, Superfine has endured – inspiring graphic designers, printers and craftspeople – with its superb formation, lush tactility and timeless appeal.

Mohawk is now recognising its history through a series of special events held throughout 2016, beginning with a campaign called #DearSuperfine. Artists, designers, printers and others who have worked with Superfine over the years are encouraged to submit their thoughts about the grade and samples of their work. Mohawk will feature memories, images and testimonials via social media as the company celebrates 70 years of Superfine.

According to Thomas D O’Connor, Jr, chairman and CEO of Mohawk: ‘Superfine got its name back in the 1940s when my great uncle, George Morrison, brought the original samples from the trials on the paper machine to a customer in Boston. Their response was ‘this is a superfine sheet of paper,’ and the name stuck!’

Mohawk Superfine is ideal for stationery, wedding invitations, greeting cards, business cards, annual reports, business collateral, beautiful coffee table books and other high quality photo products, or digital print projects in which luxurious results are essential.
