What type of proofing workflows does this 17-inch x 30.5-metre roll paper support?

This paper is designed for professional prepress proofing, matching colour accuracy to commercial offset and press stock for accurate proof comparisons before sending jobs to print.

What does Fogra51 certification mean?

Fogra certification ensures the paper meets international standards for colour accuracy and consistency. Fogra51 is specifically designed for modern proofing workflows with optimised white-point stability.

How does the 240 g/m2 weight affect print quality compared to lighter papers?

Higher grammage (240 g/m2) provides improved opacity and colour density, reducing show-through and delivering richer colour reproduction that better simulates commercial press stock.

Can this paper be used in standard inkjet printers or only large-format devices?

This proofing paper is compatible with Epson large-format and desktop inkjet printers equipped with appropriate media handling for the specified format.

How does wide-format proofing paper reduce reprints in commercial print jobs?

Wider formats allow full-scale proof samples to be printed, enabling accurate assessment of colour, layout, and impact before committing to expensive production runs.

Is there a difference between OBA and standard proofing paper?

OBA (Optical Brightening Agent) technology stabilises the paper's white point under different lighting, ensuring consistent colour accuracy in long-term proofing workflows and meeting ISO12647-2 standards.
