- Published: October 06, 2016
LONG BEACH, CA | Epson has introduced the newest addition to its extensive product portfolio of proofing papers: the Standard Proofing Paper Premium. Paper is designed to meet the demanding needs of proofing houses, design shops, ad agencies, and businesses that produce color match proofs, prototypes, and mockups.
“With the increase in popularity of press stocks with high Optical Brightening Agents (OBAs), the industry has been looking for a proofing paper that produces a close match between the color proof and the press stock with little to no additional paper tinting,” says Jeffrey Smith, product manager, Epson America. “This new Standard Proofing Paper Premium meets this requirement and is manufactured to meet extremely demanding industry expectations for color accurate contract proofs.”
The product, with a LAB value of 96.2, 1.4.-10.2 measured at M1, is said to offer whiter, bluer color and to meet or exceed the GRACoL 2017/Fogra 52 certifications. Delivering a large color gamut, high opacity, sharp details, and instant dry capabilities, Standard Proofing Paper Premium has been manufactured to exacting specifications that deliver Delta E tolerance below 0.5, reportedly one of the industry’s best.
