What type of proofing workflows does this 24-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?
