Introducing GardaMatt Digital to the Clyde Range
If you’re investing in print, your paper choice shouldn’t be an afterthought. It should work harder - on press, in the hand, and in how your brand shows up.
That’s why we’re now supplying GardaMatt Digital, a premium silk-finish digital paper that replaces the Creator range with the same quality as ever.
What is GardaMatt Digital?
GardaMatt Digital has replaced Creator Silk – it is the exact same paper, cut from the same reels but given a rebrand. It has been engineered specifically for digital presses — including HP Indigo — which means you get consistently better results, job after job.
Garda is a coated woodfree paper with a smooth silk surface and high print brilliance for digital printing. It guarantees good thickness, extraordinary runnability, high stiffness and opacity as well as excellent ink gloss and print results.
Here’s what that means in real terms:
Sharp, vibrant print
Excellent ink gloss and colour definition help your designs pop without looking overworked.
A premium feel your customers notice
High stiffness, good bulk, and high opacity give printed pieces real substance — especially important for brochures, covers, and direct mail.
Reliable runnability on press
Smooth feeding and consistent performance reduce issues, reprints, and wasted time.
Professional results on both sides
High opacity makes it ideal for double-sided work, even at lighter weights.
Fully HP Indigo Certified
Guaranteed quality and printing due to rigorous testing – ensures high productivity, reducing waste, and preventing paper jams.
Wider range of products
SRA2 and gloss now available on request.
The Same Quality, Different Branding
If you’ve used Creator before, GardaMatt Digital will feel the same, but with new branding.
It offers the same versatility, with print brilliance, great handling, and a refined silk surface. It’s the kind of paper that quietly elevates the finished piece without shouting about itself.
